I Did It! Surgery Date 3/7/11!!!

[srwright66 1]

Long time lurker, 1st time poster. WooHoo! I am getting my sleeve 3/7/11 with Dr. Ramos Kelly in Tijuana. Work approved days off. Flight paid for, deposit sent, just need to reserve hotel for the night before.

I recently stepped on the scales and was horrified. I had gained over 100# in a little over a year. Right now I am at 260. I was so upset. I am a stress eater and the stress has been beyond belief. I usually average between 150-175, I am 5'8 and it was so hard to keep it at that.

I have been wanting WLS for a long time. Actually I wanted the band but decided it wasn't for me. I knew I wouldn't go to the follow up appointments. All the fills and adjustments. I also watched two cousins that had it done, one did ok, the other gained weight. The VGS was the answer. I have watched so many of you and your success has been my inspiration. Thank you.

Congratulations on your surgery date. I am sort of jealous because I am still at the beginning of the process. I am happy for you. I am sure you will do great, and you will be a new healthier thinner you.

What a great group of people on here. It's only 7 weeks away! I know it will fly by. My coworkers have been so supportive. My daughter will be going with me. hubby wanted to go but I didn't want him to, he frets and worries over me too much. My family has been supportive. They weren't real sure about Mexico, but they are coming around, LOL. When they started to balk I told them ok, you pay for me to do it in the states. They are now ok with Mexico haha.
