Welcome! So glad you found us. You are brave to go to another country outside your own. I live only 2 hours from Mexico, but I'm driving 4 hours to Vegas because I am too chicken. :) it sound like you and someone else on here are going to the same city. Wouldn't it be great to have met someone with your same doctor. I love this site. It connects so many of us and give us support.

My 7 year old son just got a high fever today. Cross your fingers for me that I don't get it. I couldn't bare having to postpone my surgery!

Most of us will be sleeved in 5 days!

I have a seven year old daughter!! So far they have kept the germs away!!! I was very nervous to go to another country, but honestly once I started talking with them I felt really good about it. I have a friend who was sleeved by him in June 2012 and that helps too.

What does keotis mean? And I hear ya on the terrible breath. When in the world will that get better? It's awful!

I just need Friday to get here. I'm starting to freak out a little.

I had a really bad time on day 3 of my pre op diet. I cried and cried for several hours. I seriously thought about giving it up. I kept saying why oh why am I doing this to myself. I was so hungry too. I went ahead and ate a cup of chicken broth and a few crackers. It helped a lot.

I am now on day 7 of the liquid diet and it is better at times. I am not hungry really but I miss food. March 6th cant come soon enough. I am actually looking forward to it because I know that no matter how bad it is I will be on the uphill climb.

Ketosis is when your body starts using fat for energy because of the lack of carbs.Keep drinking and chew some surger free gum.Brushing your teeth helps also.I can't wait either I have no idea how I made it this far.Keep up the good work we are almost there.I have been feeling little nauseous with some stomach burn not sure about that.

I cannot believe I leave tomorrow. I am at work for the last day until I return in a few weeks, I am trying to get my desk clear, but I cannot stop thinking about the surgery.. I get so excited to be on this journey, and then scared about the actual surgery. Sometime I feel brave, other times I feel crazy.... Back and forth. My pre op is not too bad as much protien as I want. So of course I would love some carbs!!! LOL, but holding true...

I will be so happy when I am in the recovery room... and all is ok....

        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
