I'm flying to Tijuana to on Sunday to have my sleeve done on Monday.

Anyone else go to Mexico? How was your experience?

Wishing all the November sleevers a speedy recovery.

Flew to Tijuana on Thursday, November 17 and had surgery on Friday, November 18th. I am flying home on Sunday, November 20th. Everything went great the first night after surgery and the day after were the worse with pain and gas pain. Going home today and pain is not bad. The blue liquid you have to drink for test and the clear liquid for second test is nasty. You will do fine.

I'm scheduled for November 22nd!

Me too! I can't believe it's right around the corner! The day after tomorrow. It definitely snuck up on me. How are you feeling? I'm a little anxious, but nothing too bad. I hope your surgery goes well and your recovery is as easy as possible!

Same as both of you, Nov 22! I'm slightly worried about the liver shrinking enough but it's more like I can't believe this is finally happening. Haha Ready to go!

I think as long as we follow the pre-op diet and don't cheat, we should be okay. That's what I'm telling myself, at least, because that was something I could control. I knew I was doing my part. Whether it actually shrunk from the diet is out of my hands, but at least I know I followed my orders. I worry so much about everything as it is, I try to let go of what I can. Definitely doesn't always work, though lol.

I'm spending the day getting things ready and organized, washing bed sheets, and packing my bag. Is yours in the AM? How are you feeling?

That is what I do. I also tell myself, knee surgery is more complicated and I know 5 people who have gotten one of their knees done.

Okay, so I spoke to the WLS center today and they ask to move my surgery up by 1 week. So now it will be on the 25th. I am so cautiously excited but I know this will be good for me.

Oh, no! I am so sorry! I hope you get well very soon and don't get too down about the push back. It's still real and happening, don't lose your momentum! You've got this!

4 days pre op and I have to wonder why I was so worried about recovery. I was up same day on my own wandering halls of hospital and drinking fine. Only stayed in one night which was great

      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.
