Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled in June with Dr Garcia. Just found out tonight he has moved to Hospital CER? I've never heard of this hospital. Anyone been there? Is it an actual hospital or surgery center? Had a lot of problems with communication with Ready4Achange since Alma left.

I had my surgery at hospital cer. It's brand new. There are portions of it they are still finishing, but it is beautiful, and state of the art. I was impressed with the hospital and the care I received. Dr Garcia and his team are committed to providing a great experience. You can really feel it while you're there. They want you to go home and tell your friends great things so more people will come. The only thing with the hospital is they don't have the cafeteria finished, so your support person will have to eat at one of the 30 or so surrounding restaurants. My husband didn't mind this at all though :-) I can't speak to the coordinator situation because Alma was still there in march when I went. But you have a new coordinator when you get there, on the Mexico side and he is phenomenal.

I also had surgery there and it is brand new and beautiful!! My care was also awesome! BUT tell your care person to write down the address of the hospital if they venture out... the streets can be confusing and it is new so not all cabbies know about it... You will do great!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
