Oh thanks so much I cant wait. I am getting nervous Its just the unknown. And even though when I tell people that I am going to mexico I am sure you know the response I get. But I feel really good about Dr. Rumbaut. Is Rafael a doctor? I am really looking forward to my new life. Then there is always that feeling that everything else failed, its to good to be true. Hopefully this will be a new beginning. Hey the way I see it as long as my legs dont rub anymore and my feet dont hurt I'll be happy! lol:D

Hey Sheeanisland, I went through all of the questions before I went to Mexico too. They kept asking if I was sure about doing it.

I was sure, but still scared of the unknown. I was so glad to see that young man (the taxi driver) in the airport holding up my name on his card! You will be very impressed with the hospital and the care you will recieve. And yes, Rafael is Dr. Rumbaut's associate, Dr. Rafael Diaz. He was so kind to me, he was like my angel. Try not to worry, you'll be in good hands.

Thank you so much for your support. It is so nice to have !! I cant thank you all enough!!!!!!!! Actually I just got off the phone with my sister and someone was telling her at her job about the todays show yesterday, it was about lap band. See I had heard it was supportive of the band. her friend told her that some girl died because she was pregnate and she was gettin sick and died. Did anyone see this show? I am thinking she is mixing it up with the bypass. people love to be alarmest dont they...

      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.
