@@tiger1961 , when are you doing your bowel prep (taking the laxative)? You are scheduled for Monday, right? Just wondering. I have to fly to Mexico on the 3rd for my surgery on the 4th and do not want to be having diarrhea on the plane. Sorry about the TMI, but just getting a bit anxious about that part.

@@mdlange,

I am flying out Southwest of Dallas on the 5th early in the am, and the surgery is scheduled for the same day. Yes, my husband and I are staying at the Marriott. My Dr is Jose Luis Curiel. He is newly partnered with Dr. Elias Ortiz. I'm not sure which hospital I'll be in actually. My name is Carla Martin, look me up there.

@@signexp , I fly out of Houston early on the 3rd (we live in Galveston), surgery first thing Wednesday morning! My husband is Michael Lange and I am Denise. At Vida, they don't let the guys stay overnight, so Michael will be by himself at the Marriott. It will be nice to hook up with some Texas peeps!

I am having my sleeve done on 2/18/15. I am so excited! And nervous! I am currently at my highest weight of 230 at 5'3.5''. I am doing self pay in Mexico. Some friends of mine had it done there with rave reviews of the facility and medical providers. Just booked my flight into San Diego yesterday! YAY!

I am a 29 year old female, married, mom of 2 minions (boy-4, girl-2) and I am a foster mom. I work full time as a newborn nursery/pediatric RN.

I will be getting mine on 2/17!!!! Who is doing yours??!!!! I just got scheduled like 3 days ago when I decided to do it NOW!!!!

      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.
