October Surgeries!!



Recommended Posts

OK, I couldn't wait any longer. I have to see who else is scheduled for October. The closer it gets the more I'm looking forward to the surgery. Well, not the actual surgery.......but you understand what I mean. Is anyone going to have surgery in Tijuana on the 11th? I'm looking forward to possibly meeting someone from the message board during my trip. I know that I will be at the same recovery house that is used by Dr. Almanza. I keep thinking about all of the NSV's I'm looking forward to happening. I swear everyday I think of a new one. Today's is .....looking forward to not being so sweaty all of the time. :001_tongue:

I am having my sleeve done in Burbank, CA on October 7. Maybe we could plan to take a little trip to Mexico together for tummy tucks in a few years!

I feel the same exact way. I am always hungry now and I don't even pay attention to the calories. There's always a little thought in my head that I will continue that and that a day before I will find out I was denied. I plan on curbing my activities about 2 weeks before: exercise and dieting.

Hi

I have already started my pre-op diet as I have to do mine for 6 weeks. I am really struggling at the moment !!! I have so got to get my head in gear as making the liver smaller for the op is best thing. I did make a 'goodbye' and tried to say goodbye to all the things I love and now I am having what I can only describe as panic eating ... I wish there was a way to 'fix' my brain !!!!

Any tips ???

Take care

Sue

I am planning on having my surgery in late September (23rd ish) or early October which is more likely like the 7th of Oct. I'm just waiting on my passport to arrive and then I'll be gtg. I'm going to Dr. Aceves. Anyone else going to Mexicali at that time?

im glad im not the only one that feels like they need to eat eat eat... before surgery!... but its a terrible feeling.. i have made the decision that next monday is when i will start the preop diet.... it will give me two weeks roughly til my surgery on the 1st... ugh.. im sorta dreading it.. but i know when i start that part.. i will be that much closer to the date... Im also keeping this from my family aside from my husband who is 100% behind me so i am getting nervous on how to keep this from them

        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
