so i arrived here in Tijuana yesterday was picked up by samuel sr. He was a very polite gentelman enjoy the ride with him into tijuana. He brought me directly to Florence Hospital which i asked i thought i was suppose to be at mi doctor. Well he replied they told me florence. There i met with melissa sweetest girl ever i asked her about me being at mi doctor but she explain that they were over the limit for patient at mi doctor. She said sometimes when you get there they would tell you no room sorry ar tried to put you in a room with another patient who is not even the same patient for dr garcia. She told me doctor Garcia dont like the idea so that's the reason i am here at Florence where i get my own room more privacy. Yesterday i was here for about 30 minutes before i started my blood work n then place into a room. I was in my room for another 15 minutes before they did my ekg n exray n i was fully prep. I met with so many different doctors all was super professional n nice. They explain the whole procedures n what to expect. Melissa explain i might be number 1 or 2 patient. I was super tried so times after that i have no ideas. I know i was taken into the op room on a bed which they lined to with the op bed and then transfer me onto the op bed. I didnot have to get up n climb onto the operating bed as i think someone had mentioned before. In the op room i met doc luna very handsome man n there was another doc cant keep up with all the names super nice. I wish i could remember him name because he stands out:) oh did i mentioned i met dr garcia before the procedure he came to my room and explain the whole procedure very nice gentleman. The only thing i can remember after that is i woke up in my room and wow the gas pain. You can hear me crying from anywhere. I guess i was prepared but not that prepared the pain was horrible. I wanted to walk but the nurse was telling me not yet because something about anesthesia. Dr luna come n visit and asked the nurse to give me an injection n that really works. I was up and walking after every two hours. The nurses here are super great Anything i needed i got. As of this moment i feel super fine! Thank god. So thats where i am at this moment and finally on the other side. Yay me:)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
