I answered on the other thread.

I don't think you're gonna give a hoot about your hair between the pain, nausea and sleepiness.

Thanks Amy. I'm sure u r right but now I'm freaked out about a tread I read. Have you seen any naked people laying around on tables? Do you have diarrhea? Sorry I'm just a little freaked out for the very 1st time in 3 months.

Rohler1520 I just got back Friday and I did see people in the other OR but no nakedness. I wouldn't bring a blow dryer. Light packing only!!! Don't be freaked out I read that thread too and in the grand scheme of things it's not that bad. I have diarrhea now, but honestly after surgery that usually is pretty rare, they give you barium the day after surgery that backs you up to be honest. Trust me don't be freaked! I had a better experience there then I did in some of the US hospitals I have been too. I'm extremely high strung and I got through it. I

Your right. I guess if the only thing that I have to worry about is somebody seeing me naked then that's the least of my worries. The waiting game happens here to. I have a friend that has just recently had two breast surgeries due to breast cancer and we waited seven and eight hours both surgeries. Not afraid of the diarrhea,I'm usually the opposite of that. I am going to ask Dr Garcia to keep me covered though. Lol

Trust me you will be fine. I saw no naked people. As far as blue urine, I had none of that. I did have some loose stools but remember liquid in liquid out, lol. Rosie called everyday, I only saw her twice but I wouldn't have wanted to see her any more than that, I felt to worn out for company! She called daily and heck that was only out of 3 days so that's pretty darn good if you ask me. No one is as efficient as Alma! She's the greatest!! I was well taken care of. I saw a dr each day I was at the hospital and Dr Luna was kind and gentle. As far as people seeing me naked I could care less, as rough as it was post op you damn sure wont care, lol. Don't be afraid they are more than capable and competent.

Yeah, don't freak out!! The other thread really sounded a lot like every surgery I've had in the US except I wasn't put up at a 5 star hotel afterwards! I was sent home to my screaming toddlers!! ;) I've seen other patients naked in US hospitals on accident and I know some have at least seen my big naked butt hanging out of those oh so unforgivingly average sized hospital gowns!!! Lol loose bowels sound way better than stopped up ones and post surgery, you'll have one or the other, I promise! ;) and blue in? Blue/green out! Lol

You're just panicking because you're finished with everything else on your list!!! Hahaha Work on that breathing thing we were talking about.

Take yourself out for a nice pedicure. You can have some nice cute toes to shove into those sexy $5000 socks they give you! :)

Oh I don't know. Maybe I spoke too soon! Lol I have never had it come up before. I've had pedicures before all of my surgeries (aside from usually having them fairly regularly, I always have one before surgery to calm my nerves) but I've never had surgery in Mexico or with Dr. Garcia before! So Dr. Garcia may prohibit it! Best to check beforehand! Every surgeon has different rules :)

If no polish, get the pedicure anyway, and just go no polish. It's still so relaxing and will really calm your nerves! :)

      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.
