Hey everyone!! I'm scheduled for July 25 in Mexico! Like so many posts I've read here I'm flipping between super excited to start my new life and terrified that I'm actually going through with it! Although I find comfort in this page and everyone's success stories and can't wait to post my before and after photos!

I'm July 8th in Mexico. My doctor bases your preop diet on your starting BMI, so I only have to do a 3 day preop. I'm really lucky in that regard. I'm so thankful for this group and this new FB group. I want to use my sleeve to its best ability and group support is part of this journey. Praying and applauding everyone. The fact that we are taking action is amazing!

who are you using?

who are you seeing in Mexico? I have about the same to loose, but I don't know anything about plication. I was going to do sleeve

<p>@@Texas Jess Hey Jessie! I don't know of anyone who's had the plication. What made you choose that over the sleeve? Just curious. I haven't researched the plication a whole lot. </p>

CandyPants81,
I chose the Plication because the patient coordinator said that would probably be the best choice since I just needed to lose 50 lbs. the trouble I always have is keeping it off and now I have just been diagnosed with Diebetes. Like I said both sisters have bands and I'm not impressed with the outcome. I was going to do the sleeve till I talked to the coordinator. I did some reading and it seemed less invasive so I just chose that one. I'm actually still a bit on the fence about it.

I'm July 14th! I can't believe the process had happened so quickly. Just had my first appointment the last week of May. Still have quite a few fears and reservations. To top it off, I started a new job today so this is a lot of change to handle at once!

Ok I read up on the 'secret' FB

If you were not part of the group before it went secret the only way for you to be able to join is to be friends with the admin. And that person can add you.

Otherwise you can not see it or search it even if you,have the link.

So maybe the admin can see if group wants to go closed. You can turn off visibility to your feed, I have done this with many FB bariatric groups.

I'm not the admin and I just added someone a couple days ago. I just had her friend me on Facebook and added her. Easy. There were a great deal of people who explicitly stated that they were interested, but didn't want to join unless the page was secret. Not closed, but secret. I know how to turn off visibility, but I think it being a secret group gives people a greater feeling of comfort and freedom to post what they want.

      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
