Here is my update to this point my my process.

We left the hotel with Dr a' driver at7:20 and came across the border without any problems. As we driving aroun I have to honest I was allittle worried based on the surrounding area but once we got here it wasn't so bad. We had visit with Dr A where he reviews your history then as they say "they" scoot you away. Now when I say scot I mean they move fast. We left the Docs area @8 and by 8:30 I'd already had my blood work X-ray photo taken and into the hospital gown.

The hospital is old and it shows but it's not bad at all. Just be prepared for a flashback in time so to speak. I was second on the schedule so I laid in bed until 11. The guy before me had large stomach so the removal took a little longer than usual since they wanted to pull it slowly not cause him more pain necessary. I dontt. Remember much once they gave me my happy juice but my wife says I kissed her and began crying like baby......again I have no recollection of said event.

I woke up in my room with very little pain and went right back to sleep. I've been up pee several times today and just finished two rounds down the hall. Dr A and his assistant have both stopped by today and are amazing. I can't have anything today except rinsing my mouth put. No swallowing anything. Tomorrow I start ice chips andping Water.

I'll send out another updat to,or row. I also apologize if this isn't the best write up but my eyes are a little fuzzy for some reason.

Take care everyone!!

      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. 🤞
