I think mine will be Nov 25 with Dr. Illan - but I'm waiting to find out about some financing this week to confirm. I'm scared! But, I know it must be done.

I'm scheduled for Nov 1st with Ortiz at the OCC. I sent away for my passport today - hopefully it gets here in time. Now I'm trying to figure out flight info and money....

Does anyone have any advice on flights home? There's a cheaper on that's got a 4 hour layover on the way back.... I think that might suck. Or it might be good to walk? Thoughts??

All of our flights have layovers aswell, we chose one with a longer layover for the way home. Give us time to stretch and not be in a rush. Plane tickets, we booked through Expedia because they were the cheapest. I have booked through them lots before so I don't have issues with it, but some people feel uneasy with not booking directly through a travel agent or airline. Please please please share with me your experience on the first!! I am there on the 25th :) Best of luck to you!!!

Looks like most people fly, my husband is driving me. 9 hours from home. I didnt want to be standing in lines, stuck smooshed on a plane or lay over time. It's possible I may regret my descision to drive but we shall see. My doc made me promise I will stop every hour and walk for a few minutes. 50 days left on the countdown. C'mon NOVEMBER !

      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.
