Thank you so much. I hope all is going well with you while you are there. How did everything go? I am also wondering about the anesethesia, did you have a spinal or general and put to sleep? Have been wondering which one to do. Thanks of any suggestions.

No problem! I actually made a few posts about the entire experience today. If you go to my profile, there's an option where you can click to see all my posts. You can check out my last 5 or so posts for all the details. But overall, it's been great so far! Good care and pretty uneventful recovery today.

I get emails all the time asking for these credentials so I am posting them for anyone to read:

According to MSNBC.com last year 240,000 US citizens traveled to Mexico for some type of surgery........

Is it ok if I copy with (minus link) to my FB page? I created a page for those in my life who know about my surgery to that they can stay updated. I want to put info about Dr Aceves on my page and this is very thorough and is kinda like one stop shopping for info of Dr. A. I wish to not include the link because although they may know about my surgery I do not with for them to know I am on this board. Is that ok?

Oh and if so, is this quoted from Nina? I want to give credit to whoever wrote it all out.And when did you receive this? I noticed this was posted last year and his stats will be very different by this point so I want to put a date of it so that I can point out that his stats are diff today than when this was written.

      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.

      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.
