Panic Attack After Seeing This Website...



Recommended Posts

No but your intention was clear. I don't think your opinions on a race of people belong on this great website' date=' we are here to give support & advice. As a Native person, I don't appreciate the insinuation, I came to your thread to give you support.

Was this even remotely helpful in any form. It seems like your out for a fight or attention. Why even try and start a fight and then claim this is for supportive people.

I think the point is, sadly there is crime everywhere. I've lived in Mexico FAR from any tourist town. Did I feel safe all the time?? No! But I never had any trouble whatsoever.

This website is very sad and unfortunate. I know in Canada there has been an increase of these kind of stories of Canadian travelers in Mexico. Last year almost 1.5 million Canadians visited Mexico. There were around 10 news stories. That's a small percentage. So yes, terrible things happen, but Don't let it stop you from going for something so important.

You know what, you are absolutely right. That is a very low percentage... and I bet you Canadians get killed at other destinations as well... but maybe don't hit the papers. it's just hard when you have an old fashion family who believes everything they see on tv.

Thank you :)

Yes my family is the same. I've learned there's not much you can do about narrow thinking :) you just have to live your life for you.

Maybeoneday- ok, take a deep breath, this is one big happy, supportive group here. (We're one big happy family...think of us as the cousins you've never met...lol). I am a MX Sleever, mine was done in Tijuana. You are going to be fine & I'm sorry your family isn't supporting your decision. It's very important to do your research on the Dr & the facility. You can provide them with as much information as possible to put both them & yourself at ease. Can s@#t happen, yes, I suppose it can. Is it likely to happen, not so much. If you have questions, make a list & ask both here on this site & address your concerns with the Dr. Best of luck to you & try not to worry.

      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. 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 ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        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
