Heya! July 25th for me! I'll be there at the hospital/hotel on the 24th though! :D

btw, just wondering....which hotel are you going to be staying at? All of you guys are so lucky you're staying at the marriot! Totally unfair lol. I think patients of Dr. Cabrera and Valenzuela are staying at some ghetto one lol. Darn! <_<

We have the same date, different doctor though.

Hi all!! I was sleeved 7/3 by Dr. Garcia and am doing great!!! Walking about 2 miles a day and just getting used to eating like a newborn. I had some cramping in my stomach every time I ate or drank anything for the first few days, but thankfully that has now passed. I am already down 16 pounds (8 pre op) and am so excited about the future.

I was sleeved this afternoon by Dr. Kelly. It's early in the game right now, but I am very impressed with the man. I've had better care anymore genuine concern than in the states during past surgeries and visits. I'll post my experience soon so I can help others after me like I was.

No Sleeve for me.

I went to the hospital today and my blood count was too low. I appreciate Drs. Valenzuela and Cabrera for not doing a surgery on someone they were concerned about. Oddly enough, I am okay. Being healthy is best for me right now. :)

Sorry you had to go through the hassle, PrincessSleeve, but glad you're o.k. with their decision. It sounds like you have a very healthy attitude about it. What's your plan now?

        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
