What Did Your Traveling Companions Do?



Recommended Posts

So my wife is traveling with me, I won't say where because we haven't made the final choice on where to go yet. :)

What did your traveling comps do while you were laid up recovering? Do any places have amenitities for the significant other or should I just have her bring her library.

We went to Star Medica in Juarez Mexico with Dr Rodriguez. My husband and my daughter went with me and then my mom and her boyfriend came to visit for 2 days. Star Medica hospital had what I refer to as a hotel suite lol My husband and daughter had a separate room with leather couches, plasma tvs and refrigerator and phone then there was a glass french doors that opened into my side of the room with my bed, large bathroom, big fluffy futon couch and a recliner with another TV and phone. Really nice, clean and the cleaning crew was there daily changing sheets, cleaning the floors and bathrooms etc. After I got out of surgery my family went to the restaurant next door, went to the mall across the street and ventured out places for me to walk when I would do my rounds =) There was a nice sitting area and cafeteria on the 1st and 2nd floors where the "family members" would meet up while us patients were sleeping or resting. There was 6 other patients getting their surgeries done within a 2 day time frame and we all arrived at the same time so we got to know each other and that helped my family with extra time they had too. Of course, there is always wifi to get on the internet as well!! Only on my 4th day there, the day I went home, did any of us get bored lol So for us, it wasn't an issue with what to do with time!! Good luck!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
