I am having my sleeve Friday, April 11th in Tijuana with Dr. Cabrera.

I have done A LOT of research and I feel very good about my decision.

I am SO nervous and very excited.

I have been too big and sick for too long & so very tired of losing 20 pounds for 2 months and gaining 27 back... we've all been there......no more HGC, Medifast, Atkins, etc.

I am so thankful we now have this as an option.

I wish us all the very best luck and health!

Hi, can I ask how much do you pay in Belgium? Are you travelling from the UK? Best luck to you! :)

I am converting from band to sleeve on April 9th! The surgery will be performed by my surgeon (listed in my stats under my photo) that performed my Lap Band surgery back in 2009. I've been working with him ever since my Lap Band surgery and he is extremely supportive. He recommended that I convert to the sleeve since my band has started to fail me. I was hesitant at first, but I am now completely on board and ready. So excited. If it wasn't for work commitments I would have it done in March. ;)

I am surely becoming more and more excited! My date is April the 14th. As of right now I have the h pylori bacteria and will be starting my 14 days of antibiotics on next Wednesday the 5th. I wanted to wait till after Mardi Grad because I want to enjoy myself. After that I will have an endoscopy done on the 21st. Then on the 1st of April I have my 3 hour class, on the 7th I have my appointment with the surgeon and on the 14th I start a new life!!!... I'm excited for all of us and I wish everyone the best on their journey!!

      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. 🤞
