If you really want to watch some great videos on u tube watch the ones posted by kansas girl. She has been wonderful to video her progress for those of us using Dr. Ponce. Also type in Dr. Ponce and there is another girl who was so nice to actually start her video from the moment she got in the medical van from the airport. Its really cool!!! I think its Vsgbeauty

Kansas girl's videos are great, she's been doing awesome! She had her sleeve done a week before mine so we've kept in touch, and BeautyVGSJourney is who I believe you were referring to :) We actually made plans to have our surgeries on the same day, and were in the hospital and at the hotel together (my hubby and I actually appear in her post op video, we all went to the beach for the afternoon!) Her videos are great and so full of information, she really did her research! :D

Thanks everyone for watching my videos.. I highley recommend doing this.. trust me i didn't want to get in front of the camera either.. but wow it is amazing to look back and see what you really looked like.. i still can't beleive i let myself go so bad!! I'm loving this tool and i'm loving seeing all you going to my wonderful doctor. He was such a nice guy and answered any questions i had.. all of his staff were very knowledable and they made me laugh and feel very comfortable.. although i had to ask my hubby how he felt about my cardiogram with the cardiologist Dr. Leal (girls he is funny and a cutie) I didn't realize i'd be topless for that.. but it was all good LOL I just laugh about it now. Dr. Leal is great!! Good luck on all of your journey's can't wait to hear about them and join me on this side it's an amazing journey!!

I know what you mean, Holly! I thought Dr. Leal was pretty cute too when he came in, then all of a sudden he popped the buttons on my johnny shirt to do my cardiogram, I had no idea it meant having a boob hanging out! Lol! Dr. Hector was a cutie too, he had the whitest teeth I've ever seen!

      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.
