I'm Leaving...for Mexico



Recommended Posts

Two days and I head out to get my tt, I'm so excited and only a few of you my band family has any interest in such a life changing event for me. It is really hurting my feelings. Or maybe I have just done overkill on the subject. But please know that I am just so excited and scared and excited all over again. I leave on Thursday and my surgery is scheduled for July 4th, I'm having a redo, my tt, body liposculpture (lipo of upper and lower back, inner & outer thighs and some on my arms) he also want to do some fat grafting on my buttocks since they are so flat, he thinks it would give me an overall better shape. So here I go. Wish me luck and look out supermodels here comes Bella...

Thanks you all for always listening and for always giving me such encouragement and helpful advice. I hope I don't die. Pray for me, okay..

Thank you all very much. I appreciate it. I know I'm going to be in pain and I'm not looking forward to that part, but maybe I can stay doped up... Well, I called my sister-in-law and she is taking some pictures of me tonight, so I don't get busy and forget, so as much as it will be embarssing to post them, I will cough up the courage to do it. So I'm packing tonight and getting everything ready for my trip. I'm so excited. My husband is being quite supportive, but he is a little scared for me. I pray to God that he takes care of me and lets me come out of this okay.

      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. 🤞
