I wish all of you much success!!!!! I am a Feb 1st Sleever and I am super excited and ready to get this done. I also looked at options in Mexico before deciding on Blossom. My Husband and I are frequent visitors to Vegas so this just seemed like the logical choice for me as Blossom had great reviews like many of the centers in Mexico.

Getting closer to our surgery dates! I just ordered my Protein Shakes online for my liquid diet on Friday. I was able to get Boost Smart Calorie at Walmart for $7.84 for a 6 pack so I ordered 11 and plus side its being delivered to my door. My Dr's office charges $22 for a box of Protein shakes that has 7 servings . Thought I would share my deal finder in case anyone elses Dr's office lets them have Boost Smart Calorie for the liquid diet. Good Luck!!!! :)

Insurance approved! They took only a couple days. Now I am waiting on a surgery date. The doctors office said they will call within a week to give me a date. They said probably surgery end of February beginning of March....

Congrats Julia! My pre op diet starts on the 3rd and my surgery is on the 11th. I’m feeling a lot of nerves! Everyone keeps assuring me of my decision which is very helpful.

Does anyone else feel like it’s surreal? I’m just going about my life as if I’m not having surgery in a few weeks. I’m trying to get my thoughts on order but I don’t even know where to start with prep work! Ie Vitamins, grocery shopping, prepping in advance for purées stage, what to pack, etc....

        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!

      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
