Planning on going in April! My husband and kids will go w/ me to San Diego for a weekend, and then stay there while I go across for surgery. I don't want my kids going w/ me so I can heal and focus on recovery, so they will all play in San Diego and enjoy the sun. We got passports for everyone, just in case I need them to come across, but I can't imagne that happening.

Looks as if my husband will be able to go with me after all!! I'm so excited. We're waiting to see if he will be able to get off!. I'm ok if I must go alone but I will feel much more comfortable if he's there.

Oh I'm so happy for you!! My dh says he doesn't want to go while the kids are little because something might happen to the 2 of us. He also doesn't want to pay for he extra plant ticket. :(

I know my friend keeps pressing me to leave the hubby at home. She says you will be taken care of and you can save the money. We will play it to by ear and see how he ends up with work

I'm scheduled for surgery on February 5th with Dr. Aceves, and I'm going alone. I have a friend who's offered to accompany me, but I figure some.alone time while recuperating will be a good thing :-).

Good choice! I went alone to Aceves, too (12/20/12) and it was nice to rest when I felt like it and not worry if my traveling companion was bored, needed something, or was feeling entertained. Plus, you will make friends there!

Same here! I really like the idea of having the time to myself for a surgery about ME. I did buy a very lightweight suitcase to help with lifting restrictions.

I could have had my sister come with me, but I feel the same way. I want to be able to just relax and watch TV and walk around the hotel/hospital without worrying about someone else being bored out of her mind!

I think this is a great idea. Your hubby and kids cxan have a little fun in California while you have your surgery. Terrific planning. :)

Very true. :) You don't want to have anyone else to worry about while you're there post surgery. You need only to concentrate on yourself. :)

Two weeks from today I will be traveling to Tijuana alone! Many friends and relatives think that I am out of my mind, but I have great faith in Dr. Fernando Garcia and his staff. I firmly believe that they will take excellent care of me.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
