I know that seems so long but the time will go by fast. I first started looking into this with my current doctor was last December and it seems like it was last month I inquired about the surgery. What helped me pass the time was getting information, watching youtube and making sure I am mentally and emotionally prepared for this journey after surgery.

I hope you are able to get your January date!

January 5th in Tijuana! I think I saw one other gal with the same date! Ive been so excited, but as soon as December hit I started freaking out and getting nervous. Trying not to think too much about it besides that it'll all be worth it in the end, trying to stay positive!

It's normal to be nervous! I started getting nervous too and I have 2 more months! Lol I know a few people who have had it done in Mexico! They all have had great results so far! You have less than a month!! I am excited for you! Just remember that this is for you! So that you can be in better health, to be a better version of you're already amazing self! As the time gets closer, focus of positive thoughts and becoming healthier! Many blessings!

I'm in a program thru my insurance provider that requires me to complete 12 scheduled calls with a nurse. My last call is March 8th and my pre surgery appt at UVA is March 16th and I should be having Surgery In April. This 12 month program has been awesome but I have to tell you I'm getting more anxious as time goes by. I'm so ready and I worry that every little thing will hinder my surgery.

Hi. My surgery is scheduled for January 17th.

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That's when I want to schedule mine! 2 years ago on that date I was crossing the street when I got hit by a ford F250 and I was already big but gained a lot of weight from that. I want to have it on that day as bringing my life back to right.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
