Where did you stay the night before surgery? Was it extra to stay at the hotel in Tijuana or did you stay in San Diego?

I was really wanting to go to the hotel lucerna the day prior to my surgery so I could enjoy the pool and do some shopping. I feel like I'm being a pain to Anaid, because I have asked her a million questions, but I feel like I'd like that better than two days after surgery at the hotel. My husbands aunt is most likely going with me, so, I just think that would be the way to go

We actually stayed at the hospital because we did not get into Tijuana until around 9pm and were to start pre op tests at 6:00am for 10 am surgery.

We are getting picked up at 9 this morning for our 12:45 flight. The hotel is beautiful, the beds and pillows are very comfortable. Compare to an American Marriott. The broth and popsicles in the cafe are yummy. Its in a very nice part of town. It would be hard to walk anywhere without getting runover. They have these bizarre traffic circles and people drive like crazy people!

LOL @ the circle. Yes, they will run you over and not stop to help so be careful. Ask Trish or Dr. Kelly for a ride whenever you are ready to venture out. I also enjoyed my stay at the Lucerna. I felt comfortable and safe. There are out of uniform guards around the premises. And I can't say enough about my experience with Trish and Dr. Kelly.

I am glad that you and your sister faired well. Best wishes.

Just wanted to update! I got home late last night and was so happy to be in my own bed. I had no trouble sleeping on my side with a pillow. I'm feeling good today. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop! I am down #13 from the day I started my pre-op diet. I think the fact that I did not cheat at all prepared me a little. I am able to get liquids down with no problem and have been sipping on tea, Vitamin Water, Unjury chicken broth and even a popscicle today. I really wish for all those who have not had their surgeries yet, that you sail through it like I did.

      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.
