Are the two of you doing the surgery together? Or is she going for support?

We are having surgery together. My mother and her daughter are coming for support.

I'm also a bit nervous about flying home after surgery. I'm a bit of a baby!

Just remember to get up and walk a bit on the flight and you may want to invest in some compression stockings for the flight home.

I'm right with you! I'm losing slowly on the liquid preop diet and I'm following it to a T! Down 8 lb in 7 days. I hear others are losing more on it. I hope it's not a sign of things to come.

I have only lost 4 lbs in 4 days

lol I go to Mexico for a few reasons :) #1 is the quality of care I get....amazing! #2 the experience of my surgeon. Dr.Aceves has done plenty of revisions from lapband to sleeve. #3 the price, it is several thousands less expensive. It would be $20 000+ where I live, plus a very very long wait. Dr.Aceves is half what I would pay here

      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.
