Nope. I woke from surgery as if I had a good nap and could have got up and left. I felt as if I didn't have the surgery. By the time I left for the hotel I was on the go. Went shopping, sightseeing and stayed extra time to enjoy a MX and S Cailifornia vacation. Flew home to enjoy a skiing vacation (didn't ski), but I had no complaints in regards to surgery. Felt I could have returned to work when I got home, but I already took the time off so I enjoyed it

You MUST.. Walk walk walk the minute you wake up. This is the only thing that will make your gas pains go away. I didn't have any, but many do. I didn't realize I had a drain until I got up to walk.. So remember to be careful not to pull on it while turning or moving around.

I'm not sleeved but researching and trying to decide what I want to do. If I do I will be going to Mexico to Dr. Ponce to have the surgery. My friend had it done four months ago and she said that the staff and Trish was the best!!! Just have to way out the pros and cons. What was your starting weight? I live in Las Vegas Nevada.

I was the same way. Kept thinking and thinking and to be honest i wasn't even100% sure when they wheeled me to the OR. I am 5 days post op today and I feel fine, just a bit tired. But when it comes to experience with dr Ponce and trish- I would do it again in a heartbeat. I drove alone and trish was there every step of the way.

      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
