The only people i have told about me going to mexico to have surgery is my mother and husband. i had told a friend a few months back i was thinking about it and she gave me shit so i dont talk about it and i dont want to tell people im going to have VGS. I dont want people trying to talk me out of it or trying to scare me about going down. Yesterday my mom tells me that my Dad doesnt want me to go cuz someones gonna take me and bash my head in and the Dr is gonna butcher me. REALLY??? This is why i didnt want anyone to know! :thumbup:

kerri 21!!.... I honestly know how you feel!!... I haven't told that many people about it ... I have not told my mom or dad because they wouldn't understand.. However I have told my husband and he is being quite supportive! I am so scared of telling them or them finding out... Because I know I will have negitve backlash... Ugh its hard trying to do better for urself but not being able to tell some of the people you love !

Kerri,

Where are you getting your surgery done at? You might have said but I missed it. I am planning on going to Dr Aceves on the 8th!

All that huh? LOL I know it is not funny, it is just hillarious how peoples perception of a place can be so dramatic. I know there are dangers in Mexico but I think certain places are the hot spots. I also know I felt pretty secure with the trip straight to the place I was having surgery and the hotel was located in the other wing so I really didn't HAVE to leave the facility. I did take a walk to Starbucks with my mom and she went daily to get her coffee there. Then we got loaded in the van and went straight to the border when we went home. I felt more scared in a sketchy neighborhood I ventured into at Chula Vista California the day before surgery hehe.

They are parents so of course they worry. I am like my mom, if I am worried about me kids doing something then I make sure I am going to be there with them.

Hi folks,

I'm scheduled for surgery with Dr. Aceves on October 18th. I'll be going alone (traveling from Northern California). I'd love to hear from anyone going down there the same time! Would be nice to chat and support each other.

Annette

      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.
