Tijuana surgery March 21



Recommended Posts

I am very nervous and wish I could share with my family. I know they won't support me in this. My fiancé and I watched videos and he's OK with it now. I'm just scared about the doctor...and hearing that the hospital may be a clinic. Jerusalem Hospital...I wish you the best and really would like for you to keep in touch with me!!!

Hi Carmen.....

At least your fiance supports you. I have heard that Jerusalem is just a clinic. Do you have to stay in a hotel or at the facility? Mine is a huge hospital. .. and they pick me up at San Diego airport then drive me to the hospital then me and my guest stay in a suite at the hospital then take me back to the airport. So Maybe do some more looking into Jerusalem,... try posting it and wait for responses. I'll keep. U up to date with me and my journey. I would love to!

Hi make sure you wear compression socks and continually drink Water through out the flight. The Dr may give you some other form of medication while you are there to prevent blood clots on the way home. Send an email to your Dr and tell them that you are nervous about the 6hr flight do they have any special recommendations. Don't panic

Good morning all!! Happy st pattys day ... 4 days till my surgery date. I'm getting super excited! My flight Is only a little over an hour. So I would do what the others said...talk to your Dr and just ty to give them all the information needed. Stay positive. I'll be flying in Friday morning and surgery later that day. .. I'm just trying to get thru the pre op diet... ugh but I know it's all worth it. !! Thanks again for all the posts and information.

      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.
