I am sure you're smarter than me to make sure you call them ahead of time to see if they are going to be there.I was not able to have my tests because I did not realize that the entire staff takes off one week every month. It was the only week I could get off work, but it did not work out with their schedule, so I was not able to go to Mexicali and have my tests.

WOW! One week every month! I wish I worked there!:001_smile:

Can we please get this thread STICKY'D?

The information gets asked for daily, and it would be easier to find if it were sticky'd.

Thanks.

Once a month, Dr. Aceves has Saturday follow-up appointments with transportation from the SD airport. The cost is $150 for the lab tests, nothing for Dr. Aceves or for the transportation. I've already scheduled for August.

Hi Vegas, Your information is so very helpful to all of us. I do have a question, are the fruit punch protien shots acceptable for the clear liquid stage of the post op diet? Just wondering????????????

Can you see your hand through it? If it were in a glass could you see your hand on the other side? That is a clear. It doesn't have to be clear as in plain Water, but it needs to be thin enough that you can see through it obstructed at least.

Just for general information....I'm on clears for 10 days because of all of the extra scar tissue from my band.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
