Im still in Mexico going home to Missouri tomorrow. I had my sleeve done 9-13, friday with Dr Garcia. What a great experience I have had. I too came alone and I dont regret doing that at all. There is not anything here to be afraid of. Everyone from the second you walk off the plane has been so accomidating and friendly. The surgery went smoothly and Dr Garcia is wonderful. You will meet a lot of people floating around the hotel that is also having surgery at the same time with different companies. Fun to sit and talk with all of them while you enjoy your gross chicken broth or even groser popsicle.

You have made a wonderful decision and you will have no regrets. I promise. Let me know if any questions come up that you need answered. Best of luck to you on this amazing journey.

I flew in Thursday night and stayed at the Marriott. Friday and Saturday night at florence Hosp and finally Sunday and tonight at the Marriott. Go home tomorrow. So 5 total. Bring a swimming suit. You cant swim after surgery but you have 1 full day to yourself to relax in the warm sun.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
