I'd better be ready. IT'S TIME!

Just finished packing. Hubby and I are flying to San Antonio tomorrow to meet Dr Alvarez' driver who will take us to Eagle Pass. Then it's over the border for surgery Friday a.m.

I can't believe I'll be on The Other Side so soon! Yay me.

So excited! My passport came today! I also just attended the funeral of a friend who lost her battle with cancer and I realize that life is just too short to spend it overweight and unhappy. I've really enjoyed reading in this forum and getting all the positive motivation. Anyone else going to se Dr. Kelly on the 13th?

Mel, i hope you enjoy your vacation... have enough fun for too...

I was excited and looking forward to it until I heard about the lady who died with Dr. Kelly. Now, I'm nervous & scared. I imagine that I'll be going back & forth between all the feelings there are until it's over with. I get to go on vacation to the beach with some friends before I have to start the pre-op diet. So, I'll try my best to enjoy the end of the old me & get ready to welcome in the new me.

Got my date! My new life starts July 18th! I am so excited! I talked my doctor's office and they are letting me do part of my pre op this week. That means I can spend 4 days at the beach (once my daughter gets back from her mission trip) before I do my final pre op the 15th and start my new life tan and happy! :) Woo-Hoo! Put me on that list and make room on the losers' bench.

      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. 🤞
