Way to go you fabulous already. I am scheduled with dr. Ponce de leon in Dec. I noticed this is where you went. Please tell me everything about your experience. I am freaking out a bit. What was it like was there pain etc... What was it like to have the drain? Is there any way out of that part? Anything you can share would be great. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to follow your success!

YAY! I had a great experience!!! the hospital staff was wonderful. I am an OR nurse in a HUGE level 1 trauma center/teaching hospital so when we drove up to INT I felt a moment of panic because it's much smaller than a typical American hospital LOL but they were wonderful there! check out my pics (the link is in my signature) and see if you can find anyone else on here who will be there at the same time as you because it was fun to be able to compare notes after the surgery. If your coordinator is Trish she will make sure you get introduced to anyone else having surgery with you :) I felt perfectly safe the whole time I was there. We had surgery Friday and on Sunday went to the Lucerna hotel and a group of us all walked over to Starbucks for juice LOL if you have any specific questions feel free to PM me!

      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.
