Hello from another new bandster

Hi my name is Myra and I had surgery on 5/7/07. I went to Mexico and my surgeon was Dr. Aceves, wow what a dish :kiss2: I havent had a fill yet, having only just got over the gas pains in my shoulder, they said I was still swollen and it would be bad for a fill. So far I have lost 23 pound, which I am really pleased with, and like others, I am losing inches so I am happy with that. I hope to get to know you all and find support as well as giving it.

hugs

Myra

I was wondering, you don't have to go to mexico for every fill do you? it's sounds likeyou are really kicking butt with the weight loss good job. I know some docs won't give a fill if you are losing 1-2 lbs a week. I won't go to get my first fill till the first week in Aug and I hope he gives me a fill because I feel like I can eat anything. I am not eating everything because I am only 3 weeks post op but I fell nothing when I eat my blended foods. anyway I think you will like it on the web page there is alot of good and smart people here that are very helpful. keep up with the hard work.

Hi CD

No I dont have to go back to Mexico for the fills but as it is only just over the border and it is all inclusive in the price for life I will do. I have every faith in my surgeon so the journey is well worth it to me. I live in OC anyway so we only have to drive to San Deigo and get picked up at the airport by their driver and taken there and driven back the same day. Mind you, having said that we will probably do the drive ourselves. I dont really feel like I need a fill yet as I have programmed my brain to feeling full anyway, but when I do need on I will go.

      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.
