I'm hoping to get April 20th as well with Dr. Perez! Or verboonen, Haven't made the final decision yet :( Can I ask who you booked through? I was dealing with Ronda from alighterme, but she is trying her darnedest to deter me from Cancun. I started talking to Sheri from International Patient Facilitators.

Carina,

Thank you for your post on my blog---I responded to it, but I did it as a comment instead of a reply, so I didn't think it would notify you.....so I am reposting here!

So funny that we have so many things in common! I would love to keep in contact with you and share our experience. Let me know when and if you end up scheduling for Cancun! Where will you be coming from?

I have the appointment scheduled with Dr. Perez as of a few hours ago for the 20th as well. Looks like we'll be sleeve buddies :) I will be coming from Orlando, although I haven't found a non-stop flight yet. That's my weekend assignment - book the flight! I can't wait! And I'm even more excited now that I have a name and face of someone who is just as crazy and determined to be the knockout that is hidden beneath these pounds! My birthday is the 30th so I got an extra 2 weeks to lose a few more pounds ;)

That's awesome! Congratulations on getting scheduled! It's REAL now, isn't it? Let's definitely keep in contact, and I will plan to meet up with you in Cancun! Are you planning on bringing someone with you? My husband will be coming with me, and having surgery as well. (his 40th is Nov. 21! LOL!) We got our flights scheduled this week...no directs from Indiana :( Do you have kids? I have a 12, 14, and 17 year old......which makes me so scared of something going wrong, but I am still trying to focus on the good that will come from this WHEN it all works out! We are gonna ROCK our 40th birthdays aren't we?!? I'm starting to make my packing list......can't wait!

I am bringing my mother and my 17 year old son. So I definitely understand your worry about kids. I'm all he has and whether he would ever admit it or not, he'd be lost without me. He wanted to come and I was apprehensive because I tend to be a "worst case scenario" planner. Thankfully my mom agreed to come along as well.

Enough sappy sadness... you are so right... We ARE gonna rock this next birthday!!! So funny that your hubby is between our birthdays! I am loving this trip already!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
