New To This Site, Getting Sleeved In Mexico Sept 26Th With Dr Sergio Quinones



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone

I am having gastric sleeve surgery in a couple weeks, this will be my first time traveling to the west coast as well as it will be my very first flight. I am traveling from Detroit to San Diego and it is a 3hr flight I am a little nervous but more so anxious to get it over with. I am also traveling alone so this should be interesting. I would love to stay in the San Diego/Tijuana area for a few extra days but Im not sure if I will be feeling well enough to do so post op. I think I am going to go a day early instead but I really want to enjoy myself while Im there and do some shopping. Anywho I am ready to be sleeved and start this journey to a new me.... Thanks so much to those who have shared stories it has been very inspirational. I will keep you guys updated as to how everything is going. TTYL :)

Wow! So many firsts at one time and starting a fantastic journey! Take a camera with you! I had my surgery in the US but I have heard some amazing stories from people who were so thrilled with their Doctor in Mexico. Can't wait to hear yours!

Good luck on your surgery. I have heard some not so great things about this doctor and his team. I don't want to scare you--just want you to be okay. One of his recent patients had to have two surgeries as a result of internal bleeding. I pray that all will go well for you.

      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.
