Tomorrow I Fly To Cancun For Surgery & I Keep 2Nd Guessing Myself



Recommended Posts

I am an emotional wreck today, I have never been to Cancun and going alone for surgery sounded great months ago when I was preparing for this but now that the time has come I am scared.

For those who went to Mexico alone, can you please give me some reassurance?

Thank u

Hi Faith,

I haven't had my surgery yet but I have been to Cancun. It is beautiful! I see you sipping Protein shakes on your patio as you recover! Looking out over the blue ocean. I wish you had someone to share it with you though. Best of luck to you! Dee

Sorry, I didn't go alone to Cancun. But rest assured, your in good hands there. I used dr. verboonen and Dr. Perez, they were terrific! Sheri and her husband were very sweet and helpful as well. Try to relax, pray and know that your in the best hands of all "God's," Lifting you in prayer now!

I went to Tijuana alone. You will have nothing to worry about. I am sure there will be others there by themself too. I wish you well with your surgery.

After seeing the posts about Cancun and Dr Perez I am now considering going there rather than Tijuana. How much follow up have you needed with your surgeon? Did Dr Perez give education for post-op diet?

Dr Perez gave me all the info but I had already read Dr.alverez book which had a more conservative approach. ( available on amazon). I have not need Ed any follow but have his email if needed.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? Itโ€™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 Iโ€™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.ย 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 โค๏ธย Together, we got this!

      Hi๏ปฟย everyone! Iโ€™m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and Iโ€™m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. Iโ€™ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTokโ€™s, ect.. trying to prepare my๏ปฟย mind and what to expect so Iโ€™ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and e๏ปฟxcited. However, now that Iโ€™ve done everything & itโ€™s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc Iโ€™ve tried everything and I just donโ€™t feel like I can lose weight by myself. Iโ€™m tired of being overweight my entire life. Iโ€™m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I donโ€™t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. Iโ€™m scared of complications like Iโ€™m๏ปฟgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didnโ€™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 canโ€™t and donโ€™t possess the discipline. Iโ€™m also afraid I wonโ€™t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I donโ€™t know how to eat healthy really and donโ€™t enjoy healthyย food. I donโ€™t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!๏ปฟSomeone 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.๏ปฟ

        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
