Should I Be Concerned For My Safety Piedras Negras, Mexico? For My Vsg



Recommended Posts

http://www.sunherald...scape-from.html

So if anyone was watching the news today. There was a report of 132 prisoners escaping. I would expect this type of thing to happen in the more dangerous border towns, but I was under the impression that Piedras Negras was one of the more quiet border towns.

Now as for my situation. I have my sleeve date on Oct. 30th. with Dr. Alvarez. My deposit was sent in. Going to start my pre op liquid diet soon. Bought plane tickets and made hotel reservations.

Is it just a strange thing to have this story come out like the day after I make all my travel arrangements. I dont believe in bad karma or signs..., but still... should I be concerned? like some sort of cartel drug war raging in the streets by the time I arrive. lol

I am still going to go regardless because my plane tickets are non refundable and im not really scared. Just want to hear peoples thoughts.

I wouldn't worry about it either. Had mine done there two weeks ago and you are like a block across the border. I felt through the entire process.

That sounds like counties here in the State of Oregon. We've released about that many in recent months due to overcrowding and budget cuts.

No need to worry.

      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.
