OK FOLKS I'm in TJ at Marriott , the ride from SD airport was good they picked me on time no issues . I am a picky person 1-10 scale i give them an 8 . driver was great vehicle was clean , wind star van could use some rear shocks, well issue 1 try to arrive later than 3 pm so there's no wait to get ur room. There is a $100.00 deposit they just started. I knew about it.. Room wife and I agreed 7.5-8. Nice and clean king bed . Little older everyone was nice . Irene came by to do paperwork while waiting for room . Surgery was set for 2-3 pm and changed while talking to Irene . Surgery as soon as they can get me there in the morning 8-9 am. All good so far hope this helps

I wish I know about the later arrive time, I'm landing in SD around 9am and I figure I would get to the hotel around 11am... so it looks like I'll be wating

Also good to know about the deposit

      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.
