How can we go to mexico? Id have to buy 2 seats on the airplane. Id have to buy 2 seats back, too. Id probably end up throwing a blood clot because of not walking enuf. Plus, is ther a place on the forum to find out how other early sexually abused sleevers do with any type of wls?

I was prescribed anti-coagulant injections for a month post op plus I wore flight socks for 2 weeks post op. Anti-coagulants are really expensive in Mex so you may want to try and get those from your PCP. I was fine flying 10 hours shortly post op from Vegas to LAX then back to London (and San Diego to Vegas a few days before that).

You'd have to discuss all this with your surgeon however.

I was almost exactly plane seat size at the time of my op so I can't really advise on that I'm afraid.

It's admirable you're looking for psyche help - I haven't noticed much of that on here. Maybe someone else can chime in with some advice on that. Maybe there's a different forum out there better suited to this.

One book that was recommended by bariatric surgeon Dr Watkins is "Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever" by Dr Roger Gould. I've not read it just yet although I have purchased it. It gets good reviews on Amazon.< /span>

I just had my psych evaluation with Jeff Lorence in Charlotte last week. He was great! I hope you get this straightened out.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
