Grateful Heart - I sometimes forget that I was sleeved and just drink naturally (chug).. and then mid swallow realize.. OMG.. what am I doing??? lol I know that feeling you are talking of.

I also get it sometimes when I eat and forget to CHEW enough. I get a lot of flem in my throat and that makes it worse... A quick trip to the bathroom relieves the pain. :thumbup: lol There is simply too much air in a small area. I feel like a baby that needs to be burped.. and if its not a careful burp.. I'm losing it like a baby would. lol

KK - I was self pay and went to Mexico. I didn't have 10+ grand for my procedure so when I decided on my VSG, self paying was not an option. After I researched... I found an amazing doctor and got my sleeve for $5200 which was more doable. $5200 is WAY different than 10k, right? ;) After some debate with my husband... lol... I went to Mexico. My doctor was Dr. Almanza and he has great reviews on here. There is not ONE thing that worried me or that I disliked while I was there. My biggest concern while finding a doctor wasn't whether he was in a big fancy hospital... it was how many good reviews I could find from his patients... and I found the most positive reviews for Dr. Almanza. It was great, safe, and I got my sleeve for only $5200. Just an option you have.

I know how this feels because I can't seem to stop doing it. I am constantly forgetting and than I have this bubble that just sits at the top of my throat. It is very uncomfortable. I don't know why my brain can't get the hint everytime I take a pill. It's very frustrating

      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
