I am going to be staying at the Marriott. Right now having mixed feelings about this procedure. I'm excited about the health benefits but honestly Wondering how my energy is going to be and what if complications arise. But regardless I'm going through with it.

Hi, I've met quite a few people who have had the sleeve here and are accompanying a friend r spouse for their surgery. By far the majority of patients I have met are nurses, followed by other health care professionals. I feel very good about my decision and also visited the hospital to see friends who were sleeved yesterday. They look great and all are glad they had it done. Good luck to you and I will visit u in TJ !

Hey there. Literally just landed back in Canada. You stay your first night before your operation and then 2 nights in hospital and then the next two nights in hotel again so 3 nights in a hotel total. Can't say enough good about A Lighter Me. Had an absolutely wonderful experience with Dr. Ortiz, nurses, Janese my patient coordinator, Raul,Eduardo and Abraham the boys who are there for your every need. Make you feel so safe and comfortable!

I am going through A Lighter Me and if you have the sleeve you stay in the hospital 2 nights and the hotel 2 nights. If you do the RNY you are in the hospital 3 nights, and the hotel 1 night.

        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
