May Sleevers Where Are You?!?!



Recommended Posts

My surgery is scheduled on May 10. I have became addictive to this website. I am so glad that people are sharing their experience: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. When I first seen the Forum for "Mexico Vertical Sleeve Surgery (NEW FORUM!)" I said to myself, "These people are crazy going over to Mexico for surgery." Then I was curious/nosy and clicked on the link and became infatuated with the stories that I was reading.

I had schedule a consultation to see a doctor about Lipo (appointment is today) and said to myself, "Why pay all that money for a quick fix when I can spend my money on a life-time change?" So here I am. I gave my deposit and set my date; I just want to thank everyone for taking the time out to share their experience especially the ones that went to Mexico. This is an awesome support Forum. I have been on a lot of forums and never seen one quite like this.

Surgeon: Dr. Fernando Garcia

Surgery Date: May 10

Im scheduled with Dr Ponce on May 2nd and the closer I get the more nervous I get, I told my husband the other day that we could just take a mini vacation and not get it done. He just rolled his eyes at me and talked me off the ledge again lol. Good luck with yours!

Not pigging out :o but I did indulge in a morning bun from starbucks today. it was amazing!

I think I may schedule my surgery with Dr. Garcia on 4/22 same day - single incision sleeve. I have commitments every other weekend and this allows me to skip one weekend and have a full 26 days to rest. A group of us always go out to lunch and that would be 3 weeks out so i could have Soup or something. sashimi possibly.

one thing that concerns me is that is very close to my TOM - has anyone read anything about this? I'm afraid I'll start just because of the trauma :wacko:

I dont have a lot of support for this so once I do it - they'll be no complaining.

I think you will be alright. I believe I read someone comment that they leave your bottoms on during that time. They are doctors, they have seen every thing.

      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.
