fduddies, who is banding you?

Pelerojo I am being banded by Dr. Sanchez as well, on the 10th of this month.

I am packing now. We fly out tomorrow. I am so excited that I am litterally bouncing in my chair here. My husband (being the father of a 3 and 4 year old) has asked me twice if I "need to go potty". LOL:D

Sorry I can say anything negitive about dr sanchez, I was banded june 21-06. I raqlly liked the guest house. There are others there you can talk with and much more personal then a hotel room. If i can to pick something that i didnt like it would be that the hosipals gowns weren't big enough to cover my bum. The hosipital its self was clean, everyone was helpful and even had locked lockers for personal items. I would refere any of my family to him and know they are in safe hands

cool Brookins!!

FD, I'm especially curious about how the trip back treats you. Was the plane ride and walking around the airport a huge drag...or no big deal?

He done mine July 10, 2006 one week ago today. He is fabulous. That's all I can say and so is alma, Marlene and all of his staff. You'll be so proud you picked him. Please tell him Sherri said hi when you see him and tell him I'm doing great.

Good luck and you'll do wonderful. You won't believe how easy it is.

      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.
