Oh for sure, I can’t believe that some people do it alone. What time is your surgery?

Why are you surprised some of us do it alone? I did it alone, just get Er Done is my attitude. Son dropped me off at the hospital Snip Snip and back to the room and out the next morning. I find hospitals creepy and weird so did not want to bother others. But that is just me and I like to do things on my own. I slipped into a hospital got a Stint and out without even telling my kids or wife. They had finals and we were separated at the time.

But I agree if you want someone there do it, whatever makes this journey easier Do it ........ Its you Time now

I meant no judgement or ill will, that was just my personal feeling at the moment(( fear and excitement). I think just the whole experience is major and it would be nice if someone was there to share it. But If I had too, trust and believe I will do it on my own I have waited so long for this and nothing will do it whatever way, I have to. My son lives on the west coast and he goes to what he refers to as TJ, all the time to the Doctors and the Dentist. He loves Tijuana . And OMG! I reacted the same way when he told me he was going there.

      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.
