No the bitchyness makes me uncomfortable.

Whoa dude, :confused1:

I just wanted to give a friendly nudge to remind you of this post of yours from the other thread about "leaks and infections". I guess this comment about bitchyness occured when the conversation was getting a little heated.

Let's just try to give cg as much support as we do anyone else without any judgement. I'm sure she's read the stuff on here about her doc.

I wasn't trying to be bitchy at all. I was trying to be supportive by suggesting someone go with her. Mexico is a dangerous place these days, whether your having surgery or not.

Bitchy wasn't exactly the word I would use, but it sounded a little condescending. Thanks for clarifying.

cg, I do hope you're able to find a surgery buddy. If I were having surgery in Mexico I probably would be on my own too so I would definitely have to rely on the support of forum members in case any problems came up. Maybe you can find someone who is scheduled for surgery after you so they will be well enough to check on you after you're out of the OR. In turn, you could be a surgery buddy to someone who is scheduled to be in the OR before you so that you can check on them. You get the idea...:confused1:

Keep us up to date on your progress.

I made a lot of good friends instantly when I arrived. Being nervous makes people bond quickly..... there will be people just like you there.

Thanks for the look out. I have been to plenty of places on my own; Mexico included! As some of you said earlier; I thought it would be nice to meet up with someone who was having the surgery the same day...maybe I will call Sandy.

P.S. Please no scare tactics...I have already read the threads about the leaks and infections; thanks for the heads up!

Oh.... good idea. I bet Sandy could connect you with some people that will be down there when you are.

      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.
