I'll be there Nov 20-25 Dr Fernando Garcia @ florence Oasis Hospital and Marriott.. Looking for others that will be there during these dates. Walking partners :)

hi

I am having my surgery with Dr Garcia on the 22nd at Florence. But we are staying at the Hotel Pueblo Amigo because I hear it is easier to walk around and they have a casino for my boyfriend.

Thanks, I'll be on day one. I'm coming alone. Nervous about that but ready for the change.

Update: Day 5 Post Op

The numbness in my abdomen is completely gone and now I feel the full effect of the surgery. I'm extremely sore but I'm able to get out of bed by myself and take a shower without assistance. I cannot dry myself off or bend over yet though. Riding in a car sucks. I managed to walk 1 mile today with a few breaks along the way.

Today was the first day I met my Protein and Fluid requirement. GENEPRO is a lifesaver!

I had a gas bubble trapped under my right ribcage today that took my breath away. I had my husband beating my back to try and break it up.

I'm still very tired each day. I seem to have little spurts of energy but then I crash again. I'm hoping by Monday, one week out, I'll feel better. :-)

Hi everyone! Just a quick update. Had my surgery by Dr Fernando Garcia yesterday morning. Everything is going good so far. Pain is tolerable. Should be getting my 3rd leak test soon. All of my nurses have spoken pretty good English. The Marriott is really nice.

I'm doing great here! Getting out of the hospital today. Just waiting on the hotel shuttle to come pick us up. Got my drain tube and iv removed a little bit ago. Just getting used to drinking more. I get lots of gurgling in my stomach but it's not painful or anything just annoying.

      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.
