Ky.hen, my thoughts and prayers are with you today.

Stoon, how are you doing?

How is everybody doing that has been sleeved this week? Haven't heard anything (might have missed it though as can't check the board much during the week). Just know that I have been thinking of you all. Congratulations to all of you on the next phase of your weight loss journey/new life.

Tiffykins, glad you are now with your sweetie. Treasure each moment. Have a great time making memories.

Cajun/Attitude free, sounds like you are both doing fantastic! I am so excited for you.

Not sure if Judy was having surgery today

or if she arrived in Mexicali today. Which

ever it is, she is in great hands.

I look forward to hear how you're feeling

Ky. Hen, Judy!

Judy asked that I post that she is up and walking. Also aware that tomorrow will be tough. She's a trooper and it was great having her come in to overlap our stay. She is the absolute sweetest thing. She wants to thank everyone for your thoughts and prayers. I'm heading back to Vegas tomorrow and should have some pictues posted soon of many of Dr Aceves "works of art" this week.

Judy,

We need an update. Hope everything is "passing on through" and you are home or getting there soon. Let us know how you are and please speak to the safety in Mexico and the ride from the airport. My friend who is accompanying me is getting a lot of nervous inquiries from her family about our safety. I need something to calm their fears.

Norma - are you flying in to San Diego? If so, tell your friend's family that you are never alone. Ernesto picks you up at the airport, takes you to the hospital for your pre-tests; takes you to the resort which you never have to leave as they have restaurants on site, picks you up in the morning, takes you to the hospital where you stay for the next 3 nights/4 days and then takes you back to the San Diego airport on the date you are released. It couldn't be safer.

Mexicali is not a dangerous city anyway -- when Bearded has his surgery, I drove around trying to find the mall - never found it, but did find a super Walmart so wandered around in there for about an hour, then drove back to the hospital -- I never felt threatened or at danger. You can walk all around outside the hospital and no one bothers you - that's if you even see anyone!

The ladies who work in the hospital cafeteria are very nice, as is everyone I encountered at the hospital.

Your friend's family need not wory about you and your friend's safety.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
