Tiffany has Surgery!



Recommended Posts

She is all dressed up and only one place to go!

TiffanyisMajor is just minutes away from her surgery! She has been calm and cool all day, the nerves are setting in a little now tho : )

We are at the Vida Hospital location. There was some remodeling still going on at the new facility. I had surgery at the "old" clinic in February. This place is large and very modern. Each room has its own bathroom, tv, phone, beds and recliner. The same staff are here and are very nice and supportive.

I will post after her surgery is over!

Surgery is over! She did great : )

She is back in her room and talking just a little.

It is interesting to see it from "the other side". It always seems that time goes by so quickly when you are sedated - and that was her first comment: It's over already??

I am staying at the hospital tonite with her. Tomorrow she will probably go to the recovery house.

I know she will appreciate the good wishes!

I too am glad that her surgery went well. She is fortunate to have a good friend to be with her.

Glad to hear Tiffany is doing so well. Please give her our well wishes. What a wonderful gift she received from you by accompanying her! Bless you. I see you are from Seattle. I lived there from 2005-2007 (actually lived in Issaquah and worked in Seattle). I miss the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. If it were not for grandchildren (the joy of my life) I would move back.

Have a safe journey home. Diane

I have been passing on your messages : )

We had a real conversation about an hour ago. She is in good spirits. Just had her first GasX strip - they are such a treat! LOL And the nurse brought her an ice pack. Her discomfort is about where the top incision sits.

I am hearing her describe everything I felt and said on my surgery day and afterwards. I wonder if we are all broken records??? : )

On a side note ~ today was a beautiful day in Tijuana. The sun was out and it was warm, but there was still a refreshing breeze in the air. Early this evening, it looked a little cloudy out there tho. At least we had one nice day!

I know she may feel worse before she feels better, but so far she is on the right track!

Hi DeeDee ~

I love the PNW! I have lived here most of my life - except for 6 years when my dad was stationed in Illinois and Bermuda while in the Air Force. I have traveled alot, have been to all but 2 continents, and still wouldn't live anywhere else full time. OK. Maybe Costa Rica, Barbados or Belgium. LOL

The grandkids are a big issue! We were blessed with our very first last fall and she is a precious little girl. My son is currently in flight school at Ft. Rucker so we have been missing her alot! They will be back in June.

I live south of Seattle and actually don't venture north too often. The traffic is just too crazy!

Thanks for saying hello : )

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
