I know what you mean! I'm going to Mexico for mine. I've never been out of the country before and going to Mexico alone is scary enough, plus adding surgery on top of that... I'm terrified.

Everything has crossed my mind... Getting kidnapped, getting caught in the crossfire of a drug deal gone wrong, bleeding to death on the table after surgery, getting a leak... Those are some of the main worries. Lol

I'm actually on Medicaid, I just haven't looked into getting sleeved here. I don't want to go through all the BS they require.

Jess just remember that me and 2 of my best friends will be there at the same time. One is getting sleeved and one is there just to help us. We don't fly home till the 10th and are surgery is on the 6th. Look for us at the hospital when you are there for your pre op (Jamie Rohler or Wanda Ely). We will be at the hotel the day of your surgery and I will check on you. And,if you need us we are just 10 minutes away. Please don't feel too alone. We will be there through the biggest part of your journey.

      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. 🤞
