Also went out to dinner with the Dr (Dr Kelly), his wife, his 7 year old son, the anaesthatist & another patient (who is 1 year out & lost over 100lbs so far) yesterday. That was really nice to get to know them all.

Very different to how you get treated in the US I guess, but I liked it a lot.

Of course they ordered me chicken broth, so sipped on that slowly while they ate. It was fun!

I guess you were a cheap dinner date! LOL! That is awesome. I have never heard of a doctor taking out his patient. I haven't spent more than 30 minutes with my doctor. Inspiring!

Yes definitely good luck to everyone. I am going to head down on Wednesday to San Deigo and off the Dr Garcia on Thursday 17. Excited - and loopie right now! Hard to describe. I am never nervous - I am fearless but not careless - but I feel like there is a light for me.

Best wishes to all xxx

Have to stay another night to be fever free for 24 hrs. Fever is gone now. And reason for fever is I have a little pneumonia I haven't had anything but Water since Thursday. I had a rough night last night mentally. I was scared that I made the wrong choice. But then I thought how nice it will be when I can do differ t things with my kids. I think I was also feeling really bad being away from home for 4 days. I have never been away from my kids. I need to get home and start my life. Cause there is no turning back!

      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. 🤞
