I feel the exact same way. I'll be having surgery on Sept 11th in Tijuana at the Clinica San Juan with a Dr Gonzalez. I can't find any information about him. I've paid the deposit and bought my airline tickets. Big time nervous here!!!!

I was originally scheduled at clinic san juan with dr Gonzalez. Bianca called and offered me dr. Camelo . I had researched dr Gonzalez with no luck. After having the sugery at hospital florence with dr camelo im thrilled with my decision. Even while there, i mentioned dr Gonzalez but no one knew him. Dont be nervous, but everything in gods hands and follow the pre op. Also take 50billion Probiotics or 1 tsp apple cider vinegar every day. It will help with recovery. Also, dr Gonzalez does NOT give you take home meds, if you want them, it cost $150 additional. You also have to get your stitches removed but dr camelo uses the kind that di solve.

Good luck and God bless you

My surgery will be September 10th also, and I'll be with Dr. Ariel Ortiz. Is there something in particular you're feeling 'lost' about? Who is your surgeon - maybe we'll be seeing each other soon!

@@LittleNiki who is your doctor?

I believe it's normal to be nervous, as my surgery date approached I was a bundle of nerves. But don't feel lost, you have made a decision that will most definitely improve your health and your life. You are no longer a spectator, you are doing something to better yourself, not a lot of people take that step. Keep yourself busy, that's what helped me stay focused.

      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.
