I'm here, waiting to have surgery with Dr. Cabrera. I'm so freakin' nervous and scared. I'm wondering what I got myself into. I'm sure that's normal, huh? Yikes!

Yes its is normal! I was there 6 days ago and was so nervous the doctor had to give me some medication to help calm me down because my heart rate was high. You are in good hands. Everything will be great and youll be out of surgery before you know it! Well wishes to you!

Thanks y'all! Surgery went well, and everyone has been nice. I've had some gas pain to my chest and left area shoulder, but that's pretty normal. I've been up walking the hall with no issues. I'm glad it's done with!

Everything has gone SO smoothly. Pickup was a cinch. The driver called right after I landed (we got in about 14 minutes early) and said he'd be there in 10-15 minutes. He picked us up and we came right across the border to the hotel. At the hotel, he escorted us in to check in to ensure that everything was in order. Nissi, the local Med tourism representative, met us shortly thereafter.

Nissi met us at the hospital this morning and it, too,was a smooth experience. Everyone has been nice and accommodating.

Good luck on your surgery. I think you will be satisfied! :)

Chase, I don't think so. I was on the 3rd floor. Which floor were you on?

      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
