Will do. Though you might not like it when I do, when my husband finds out where you live, he'll be asking you a million questions. He wants to visit Alaska very badly.

Do you know how come Dr. Valenzuela isn't listed as one of the surgeons on this site? Or Mi hospital? I'm booked there with her and it kind of gives me pause to see that huge list of surgeons and facilities and not see either. TIA

i have no idea why this site doesn't list her but lots do , did lots of research on her before i made my decision and anyone that has done over 2500 surgeries without a hitch is qualified , my doctor here in canada has a partner who can perform these surgeries so he had him look into her and said i'm in great hands , there is lots of testimonials about her out there as well as sites that reference her , here is 1

@@smb0187 I pray that you are having a fast and easy pain free recovery after your gastric sleeve surgery. I'm thinking about getting mine done with Dr Fernando Garcia too. I like that he does the single incision laparoscopic sleeve. Let me know how it all went when you are ready ok? Thank you :)

Everything has gone great so far. No complaints at all. I didn't get the single incision though just so you're aware. His team has been great! I leave to go back home tomorrow.

      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. 🤞
