Houston during the week (edge of Pearland) and at home in Port Lavaca on the weekends. Sleeved in Tijuana Mexico on July 30.

Hi, I definitely would like to keep in touch. No one knows about my WLS decision but my hubby. I live in Pearland and I am having the surgery with Dr.Garcia on Sept. 10th in Tijuana. Any advice you can give me for Tijuana???

I keep a blog, although it's really for my family more than anyone. I didn't blog much during the week of the surgery, but I did post a handful of photos of the hospital and hotel that you might want to take a look at. The blog is at http://beawlj.wordpress.com/ and most of the information about my trip is on the "surgery" page (http://beawlj.wordpress.com/about/). Here's wishing you the best of luck, but if your experience is like mine, you're going to do just fine. Can't wait to hear from you again on the back side of your surgery too!

Best of luck!

Just got sleeved with Dr Garcia last Thursday! Bring small bills for tips, bring an ipad or something for the hospital stay incase you get bored... the cable is mostly Spanish.. don't be nervous! I was terrified and they did a great job! the Staff that will be taking care of you is mostly young but they know what theyre doing. A couple female doctors that youll speak with before surgery have also had gastric bypass and sleeve so ask them questions if you have any.. they're very nice. after yours surgery youre gonna wake up with sticky crap all over you! Make them help you get it off! lol REST and WALK!!! GOOD LUCK!

I'm awaiting my date, trying to complete all my requirements! :)

It is a family affair, grandad was sleeved, my mother is next, then me. :) My mom is only about a month ahead of me..

I've been looking for the Texas forum, glad I found it! :) ????

      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. 🤞
