My surgery date is 9/12 in Tijuana as well. My surgeon is Dr. Valenzuela with Mexico Bariatric Center. Who's your surgeon? I'm on day 5 of my pre-op diet and it has gotten easier. I don't have as many cravings and I'm not as hungry as I usually am. Just take one day at a time and you will make it through this.

Dr. Ortiz is doing my surgery at the Obesity Control Center. Are our surgeries at the same place? I start my liquid diet next week.

I am scheduled to have surgery September 11th. I start my pre-op diet on Friday August 29th. I am so excited but like others worried about what I need to get down before the big day.

Awesome! He did my friend's sleeve back in January and she has had phenomenal results! Good luck! We're only 23 days away! Woop Woop!

Mine is coming up so fast I can't believe it. Sept 4th is when I kick this fat to the curb....for good!!! I want to be thinner and healthier and be able to live life a lot more than I do now.

My pre op is Tuesday. They said to plan for 3 hours. Not sure what would take that long. Luckily my Dr only required liquids for one day before surgery.

I think we should name ourselves Sexy September Sleevers. What do you think?

9/22 for me! Getting all my pre op doc appointments done, and hoping insurance will approve. If not I'll pay for it. It's that important for me! Start my pre op diet 9/8. Had a sleep study last night. Enjoyed my psych appoint! Really helpful!

      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.
