Wasn't referring to you suz. And No, not from the doc, from the coordinator. I don't think that is right at all, so like I said, I gave out my docs name but did not send her through the coordinators I used.

Lee, I am doing well. Had my little stall, but starting to lose again down 40 now. sleep is hit and miss, but I am not tired all the time or falling asleep at 6 PM like I did before surgery, so it's all good. Overall, I'm loving this. I am so happy I had surgery. Could stand to go to the gym more though. I bet that would make me sleep more.

I'm so happy for you ! ;)

40 lbs feels amazing when it disappears so quickly. My hip is no longer aching everyday.

Me too .. No more afternoon naps. Lots of energy. Still can't get the recommended Protein in. Did your scars clear up from the reaction to the tape ?

I just noticed my belly button wasn't sewn up as nicely as my original one Oh well !!

To everyone that receives this thread in the email and has had to listen to all this ...

I'm truly sorry. That wasn't my intention to turn this into WW3.

I never say anything ... Usually ... Because of the fall out of going against the heard !

My intentions were good I promise ... And I wish everyone the best of luck in whatever stage they are in.

Sunshynie ... I'll send you a private message. I can't do this here anymore.

I believe Dr Garcia is a fine surgeon but I prefer surgeons who ONLY do bariatric. Not switch around every day. Just something to think about.

All that means is did he have more than 1 specialty

Just to clarify Bariatric surgeons have to be General Surgeons first, then they specialize in others. I don't know about Dr Garcia so I can;t say but the doctor I am going to has General Surgeon Degree, Laparoscopic degree and Bariatric Surgery Degree. He has a General Surgeon in a room with him as an assistant to perform the surgery.

How did they to above and beyond? They simply did their job. And how does a band "erode"?

A lab band "erodes" when it actually grows into the stomach. This is a very serious problem and the band needs to be permanently removed. You would then need to look at an alternative type of weight loss surgery,

You know the saying "Dorothy u are not in Kansas any more". Not to be roud but things in Mexico are not same so u can't expect same. If you go to Mexico u need to realize that things are different. Here in Canada my lapband Doctor also goes in to do other surgeries and procedures at the hospital but has a private lapband clinic with bariatric surgeon. Also general dr can have a few specialties. My local plastic surgeon specializes in hand surgery And cleft pallet but does great boobs

      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. 🤞
