Hi all! Ok, so Nina and I were able to get me on the schedule for Monday, February 1. I'm getting so excited. I've been saving up and getting ready for this in my head for a LONG time! Can't wait. Hoping to find some who might also be there the same days as me. If you will be coming in at that time, or already there, let me know, say hi! I'd love to hear from you.

Here's to ALL of our sleeves! YA! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Hey there. I will not be there, but I will be praying for you. I am excited to track your surgery with you. I see you have been through so much with your Band, and I know you are excited to get Sleeved. Good luck and as they say in Norway...Lykke Til (Good Luck)

Are you ready to hit the road? Good luck!

Never been more ready. I feel really good. Went out for one last tasty drink tonight, before I hit the hay tonight, take dog to the Vet tomorrow, finish packing, and I'm OUT on Sunday morning! Really, knowing where I'm "going" (having been to Mexicali before, been through the whole "process" with Dr. Aceves, etc)... I'm ready. Can't wait, scared, but super excited! I hope we get a chance to meet before I leave, Firefly! :thumbup1:

Hi Phatman/Rob (love the tag name, BTW!) :smile:

Thank you for your kind words and support. I really do appreciate it. I will keep you all posted as best as I can whilst in Mexicali. I'm bringing the laptop, so I should be able to post. :thumbup1: Thank you for the prayers and good vibes, I really believe I need it, with all the madness of this being my third surgery (band in, band out, sleeve). I cannot wait to get to the other side of this sleeve!

Here's to you as well, and your journey! I see you're half way across the world, but these "interwebs" (LOL) bring us together. It's very comforting.

Lykke Til to you, too! :thumbup:

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
