Anyone seeing Dr Almanza September 18 through 23?? My surgery date is the 19 th!! I would like to be in touch with someone else going around the same time. I think the support will be not only good for me but for my mom who is coming with me. She has been so amazing and supportive even though I know she is scared!

Hello

I am from Ohio. What hotel did you pick in San Diego? I am booking my room this week. Seem like a waste to pay over 100 for just a couple of hours. Looking for to meeting you at the recovery house.

Yea I was thinking the same thing about the hotel. We are not sure yet where to stay but I'll probably be booking soon as well. Just got my passport app in today. So many things add up$$$!!! Who is coming with you? My mom is going with me. I wish we had the extra money to spend some time in Cali. But sadly we can't.

I am coming alone. I dont want to have to worry about anyone but me. I wish had a family member that would support me but none of them understand what I am doing. I was thinking about a cheaper house hotel than what Louise suggests so I would be able to stay a couple days in Cali. It took me 8 weeks to get my passcard, Will your passport be sent to you by the time you leave?

I have so much to do before my dated to leave and I am sure it will be here before I know iit. But today it seems like the time has come to a stop. I feel like a kid waiting on Christmas morning. Counting the days..... Is it time yet?

I'm sorry to hear you aren't getting the support you need with this. But I'm glad you wrote back. Because we can keep in touch and I'll be going in first so I can give you all the details!! I hope my passport comes in time!! But Louise said to bring my certified birth certificate and drivers license if not. People can get in with that for the most part.

I wOuld look in to the motel 8 and some of those to see if you can find a place! If I come across anything I'll let you know.

Do you have a Facebook? If so please ad me

Check out the September forum also. I will add you to the roster and it looks like there might be others there around that time.

What part of Ohio are you from? I live in Circleville, OH. I get my sleeve with Almanza on the 10th. Too bad we aren't going at the same time.

      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. 🤞

      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.
