What does your packing list look like.

I am a minimalist.

I was just going to bring clothes.

*Flying on an airplane and do not want to be weighed down with nonsense.

That said, I am curious if I need to bring anything for my own comfort or recovery.

I'm going to bring something to make broth with incase I don't like theirs, I'm going to bring my own pillow (my friend said the pillows are terrible) going to bring my iPad to watch movies on. Other than that I think I'll travel minimal too. My friend said to take comfy pants that aren't right around your tummy at all. When are you arriving Harleyguy? Who's your surgeon?

Hi sunshine72, nice to meet you, I'm Dr A. I don't have you booked and I think we haven't skype or Facetime either. Would you like to have a free consult with me?

She's seeing Dr Almanza ... Yikes

What exactly is with the "yikes" comment?

Per the other user on page one.. check out this link on Dr. Almanza. You really should reconsider. Also, BariatricPal pulled him as a recommended doctor and is no longer affiliated with him. Really not a smart move.

And here's one that aired tonight, July 29, 2015.

Team 10: Weight loss surgery gone bad http://www.10news.com/news/team-10-dozens-injured-during-weight-loss-surgery-in-Mexico

If you watch these videos and don't think twice about going to Almanza-God be with you. I'm sure the story is going to get worse for this guy.

Ana Tellez -

You listed several items that someone should bring with them.

Is there a list of items that you can send me.

You have my email.

Thanks.

        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
