That's fantastic! I wish you all the best. Sometimes it feels like you are the only one who is starting out on a journey. Nice to know I am not alone.

Is everyone traveling with someone else? My kids are still in school so my wife won't be able to come with me unfortunately.

My surgery is on Sat. May 28th with Dr. Illan as well traveling from Cali. I was approved thru my insurance company but I have chosen to visit Dr. Illan who has much more experience than the two I've researched in the U.S.A. im not afraid, my mind is made up. I'm prayed up and ready to do this for me. Many blessings to you all. Let's Go:)

My Aunt is coming with me. My husband didn't want me to go alone but couldn't come because of our small children.

I leave tomorrow and have really enjoyed the visit, the surgery seems like it was a small part of this trip even though it will be so life changing. I have had ZERO gas pain and my pain has all been very manageable. I've been out walking with our concierge Juan both days at the recovery house. I was up and walking around the hospital pretty quickly as well. I received the DVD of my surgery (per my request) yesterday and actually got a big kick out of watching it last night. I'm really happy with my decision and really glad I stayed in the recovery house and explored the area a bit. Now, tomorrow I finally see my boys - it'll be five days away from my babies. Hopefully the pain is just as easily managed with the munchkins :)

      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
