I come in around the same as you so I think we will be in the same car! :)

Awesome! Do you know of anyone else having surgery that same day? You're the only person I've run into online that is scheduled for July 6th.

Yay! I'm happy I won't have to ride alone. I'm sure the valets are wonderful but it helps to have some company to avoid that ackwardness of being alone in the vehicle. 🙈😆😁

I flew in ye day before, stayed in hospital two days and back in the hotel one more day. I was on the first flight back home the next day. I was too tired and way too excited to start my new life. Besides, haven taken food out of the lifestyle at that point, there was my
Much left to vacation about at that point.

Definitely!! I'm giddy and nervous and excited for this trip. I feel relieved to have company on this journey. Sorry to take a moment and vent but I need it. [emoji30].
Even though I'm 36 and a mother& wife, my mother (who is supposed to come with me) keeps trying to challenge my decision. I'm trying to be respectful, but I'm about done with it. I would love to go by myself but I promised my husband I wouldn't go alone (he is staying with our kids).

Sorry you have to deal with that. It comes from a place of love and concern but once you return and your mom sees you're ok you won't have to deal with that anymore.

Only my husband knows and has to stay with our kids. I know I would be questioned by family/friends and I just really don't have the energy for it. So my lips are sealed....lol 🤐

If you fly in same day, what time does that put the surgery?

Dr. Illan starts his Surgeries after 2.p.m. and usually Ladies first (He is such a Gentleman). I Promise this will be the Best Decision you have ever made. I was so impressed that if time allows I will never have Surgery in the States again.

Once she lands and sees the level of Care you receive it will be a totally different story. I have never been treated so well at a Medical Facility in my Life!!! She is the Lucky one because the Companion also gets treated like Royalty by all of the Valets and Staff. Bill, Stacy and Dr. Illan have put together the most amazing Family (because the word Staff doesn't do them Justice) to Help you through this Life Changing Adventure.

Do you remember how early of a flight can we catch home? One Dr said book a 3pm or later flight, but how about Dr Illan?

Thanks,

Bill told me to book my departing flight for after 1pm. Keep in mind that was told to me after I selected a date so it might not be the same 7 days a week.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
