I can't even imagine how you are feeling right now Kathy. I don't have surgery there for 3 weeks and I'm scared! I have heard there is no power in Mexicali still this morning. And they have to sterilize basically the whole hospital. I hope the people there for surgery are okay. I would be scared spitless! I hope things go okay for you and I selfishly hope things will be okay in 3 weeks. :)

I've been confined at the courthouse all day on jury duty. I hadn't heard that there was an earthquake. If someone's lurking who knows about it, I'd sure like to know where it was. Mexico? Arizona?

I have a son in LA and I tried to call hiim tonight and couldn't reach hiim. That's why I'm concerned.

The big quake was a little south of Mexicali, MX. LA only felt it a little. Not a big deal there at all.

Thanks you all! I am sorry that it's interfering with your surgery. And I sure hope no one was hurt! I'm shocked that Yuma realized a 6.9 from the quake. That would be a really big deal in L.A. They're so tightly packed - like sardines.

I'm in Texas and quakes are virtually unheard of here. I can't even imagine what it is like to experience one. Hope you don't have any aftershocks! And best of luck to you with your surgery.

It looks like I will be pushed back to next week!:sad0: That is if I keep my fingers crossed. For everyone else flying down there this week I hope you have a safe trip and I will be thinking about you all.

I'm so sorry Kathy! We should have just snuck you into the OR with me and got this done! Oh well, your sleeve story will surely be unique. Good luck lady!

Dude, I should of thought of that I had not ate anything that day and they were already poking and prodding in that area. I should have just told them to knock my ASS out.:sad0: Oh well! They probably could have not handled us both at the same time. HAHAHAH

Thanks for the pick me up:thumbup:

All right how many of you get to say this twice......Heading to Mexicali tomorrow.....yeah!!! Everything is going great and back on track so they can do my surgery on Thursday!

I did talk to 2 people down there when it all happened they had theirs done today. They are all fine...scared....but fine. Part of the hotel was damaged but being fixed as we speak. Not much damage done to hospital...few damaged air conditioning ducts..things knocked over and ceiling tiles fell. But nothing major.

Ann Marie and David hope you had an uneventful day and you are doing well tonight.

        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
