This thread has me Rollin! (As I sit here sippin Gatorade at the mariott 3 days post with dr. Garcia)

I appreciate the op's view. Mine, like I said wasn't exactly the same, but everyone deserves to hear negatives. I also want to say that I think I know who the op is, but anyway.....

About being naked- yep, we were. They ungown you after you pass out, and cover your chest. I don't know about legs. I asked the dr. This after reading this thread and it was confirmed. However. I don't give 2 craps either. And my HISBAND doesn't see me naked so that says something I was asleep and I was gowned when I woke up. Fine with me.

I find it funny (yet off topic) that Laura ven strikes a pose in the middle of her brawl. Laura, you're a rock star.

Palekania- me too w the blood. None of my sleeve sisters had that, but I sure did, directly after in the recovery room. And I'm white.

First of all. Why would you go to a third world county to get such a serious surgery done. Your lucky you made it out alive. I'm surprise you didn't get an infection. I would have ran out of there.

You should run out of here....

.......wait for it......

Did anyone wear undies? Lol I'll seriously feel ok as long as I have chonies on :)

Girl...NO. I even had my chonies on and was going to play "language barrier" but she wasn't having any of it. (The nurse) in her perfect grammar: "you must take everything off. Even your undergarments."

My husband couldn't quit laughing.

I literally repeated "everything?" 7 times.

Pretty scary. I live in the DR and after much research and refrences I decided to get sleeved here. Mind you, this was not a decision I made to save money. It is cheaper to get sleeved here than in the US but I did it with the best doctor in the country. I have absolutely no complaints and I am SUPER fussy. If anyone wants any info on my expirience, msg me and I will be glad to share.

Am I the only one happy they had a no underwear rule? :) I absolutely didn't want to wear a pad, I wanted to wear a tampon... and I had heard that some surgeons forced you to wear a pad. Eww. Much rather be naked than be forced to wear a pad :)

      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.
