In Mexico, no referral is needed. You fill out forms( health questionnaires),usually speak with a coordinator and after the doctor evaluates all the information,you pay the deposit and pick a date.---- This is how it usually goes, but everyones experience may vary

Because the pillows are terrible. The sheets are scratchy (clean and laundered tho) and I like my own downy fresh linens. I'm so much more comfortable in my own stuff. Can't wait to get my own Jammie's on and out of this robe.

Dr Kelly is all I hoped for in a professional surgeon. This experience has been amazing. To all those worried and concerned, please just know its a pleasant process with Dr. Kelly and his staff. I'm 12 HOURS post and am doing very well and feel so taken care of. I feel lucky today.

Couldn't be happier with my progress and physical state. Everything is great. I really feel lucky because I haven't had one single gas pain!!!!! Doctor says some people don't.

Last night was brutal. I surely over did myself by getting my girls and I off to church, went shopping and took them to lunch. I suffered as a consequence of. I need to take it slow.... Remember I was just in a major surgery. Rest. Down time and healing.

I feel better today. Soooo glad!!!

My surgery was 2 years ago with Dr Kelly. So glad I did so much research and verified all his credentials. I couldn't have picked a better surgeon.

I went back to work at 17 days post op. The second day back was my "long" day when I have staff meeting and lots of driving. I was so exhausted and aching by the time 5pm came I was in tears. I'm glad you took it easy on yourself today. Indeed, you just had major surgery, it takes time to get back to 100%. Rest well!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. 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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
