Happy for you. Bummer for me, I am the week after on the 19th. Who is your coordinator? I would love to hear how things go. I have Dr. Valenzuela also. Happy preperation.

Thanks! My coordinator is Cindy. She has been awesome. Very quick to respond to anything and everything, phone or email. I will probably make a post once I am there and do a play by play update. Or maybe even make a twitter. I wish more people would do that! It certainly helps to know what's going on beforehand and what people's impressions are.

That would be awesome. Yes, it would be helpful if more people would let us know from the hospital how things are going. Then again, they are probably just trying to get through the recovery the first day and adjusting. I have never had major surgery, so I have no idea. I am hoping to not feel too bad, so I can have a little enjoyment while I am off work. Good luck.

Hi Everyone!

I am having VSG in TJ on Sept 2nd. I know there were some responses but I just can't seem to find it where there were some of you going to Mexico for surgery on 9/2. I would love to put a group of friends together in my email so we can chit chat and help each other on our journey. I know there is a Facebook page out there, however I am really computer challenged. I would love to get that link to the facebook page again or reply to this and I will send you my email address. I think the more people I have around me the better I will be when I am having one of those days!

Thanks for all the help

Bon

Hi! I am going September 19th.

Are you going to Tijuana? Who is your surgeon. Maybe we will be at the same place at the same time. Would be great to have a buddy.

Waiting for Approval from my insurance but was told surgery date should be September 9th in the Lone Star State :)

I received a sample pack of the Bariatric Advantage products, but will be looking and comparing other products too. I do have a questing about the 2 week liquid diet, during that period did anyone still take their prescribed medications. Mine are Metformin, BloodPressure, anti acid.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
