I don't have a date yet, but my surgeon has told me it will be sometime in early to mid Dec. I finish the 6 month insurance required weight loss program in Nov. 7.

I'm kind of the same way, I was told December by the time I finished with my necessities.

I’m having mine December 15th. Unfortunately, my insurance isn’t covering mine so I am going to Mexico to have it done. I’m nervous about that but heard many great things about the doctor and surgical center there.

I just got my date: December 11th.

I still have one final appointment to go in the 6 month diet plan, but they wanted to get me scheduled ASAP to ensure I got a spot before the end of the year as my insurance is changing on 1/1/18.

Excited and nervous!

Michelle L. - I'm having my procedure done in Mexico too - December 11. It's with Dr. Ortiz at the OCC in Tijuana. He has a very good reputation. Where are you having yours done?

I'm also really nervous. I know the complication rates are very low for gastric sleeve, but I have an amazing 5 year old daughter and a wonderful husband, and I can't help worrying something could go wrong.

I also can't quite believe it will really work. I have lost weight in the past, but I always gain it back. It's hard to imagine actually losing more than 30 pounds and actually keeping it off.

I’m going to Mexico Bariatric Center in Tijuana and Dr. Valenzuela is my doctor. I have tried and failed many times so I decided to take the leap. I’m afraid of failing again too. I’ve been reading up on it and joined some groups for advice and just to see what issues may come up. Some do have issues but they are short term so if we have one, let’s just remember that it’s temporary. We got this and we will succeed! 😊

      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. 🤞
