Yay nomore!!! We will probably be in the van with you if you are getting picked up this morning!!!! Lol we are at the hospital now but came in yesterday for same day surgery.... The surgery has been moved to today because my partner threw away her money order by accident at the airport yesterday... we now have to be driven back to San Diego to go to her bank this morning to get a new money order issued and the old one canceled! They would not do surgery unless she was paid in full first. What a mess -----but we will prob see you soon! Ps florence is ok... I had the Mi hospital for my surgery......and they both have their negatives and positives.....so far hot Water broken but they have since fixed it..... Tv very small and barley hear it with 5 English speaking channels(I'm not a huge tv watcher anyway) broth Jello and liquids have to be ordered and take about 30 min to get.....no where for me to eat anything but there is an order out menu lol...... in Spanish.... The cafeteria is buffet only and my partner has to buy vouchers for me.... I took a look and its not for me as its basically all vegan..... Lol I normally don't complain just sharing all that we have learned so far! There is food spots a block or two and stuff down by the beach which a little scary to walk....but we tried this yesterday....anyway we are managing and we will see you soon!!!! :)

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
