This would be sooo much easier if I had someone doing it with me! I would love for both of you to be there when I'm there! That would be great! We could all support each other!

That would be so awesome! It would be nice to arrive with a support system walking the walk together!

I am saving for the $500 deposit now. Then passport cards for husband and I, then plane tickets.

Is anyone scared about crossing over the border? I was cutting a little Hispanic girls hair the other day and she said that she wouldn't go there because they try to get into your vehicle and they climb all over it trying to get in! But she said mainly at night. Ugh. This is freaking me out!

I'm paying my deposit this coming Friday. Got my passport pic done at Walgreen's for only $10. Then I'm taking it to the post office. Going to book airfare thru Hotwire.com.

A little nervous... But mostly not. We will have escorts to and from who know how to get the job done safely.

Dr. Lopez :) but haven't decided if I wanna go to TJ or PV... More than likely TJ though because I'm not gonna be able to enjoy the beach and all that coming out of surgery.

Dr. Lopez using a brand new hospital in PV. I have only heard rave reviews from it.

PV sounds great but I want to go when I can really enjoy it. The money saved by going TJ can be applied to the PV vaca celebration!! :-)

      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. 🤞
