hello VS Friends! I am about to get my surgery done in my hometown of Monterrey, Mexico in a few months. For all you folks traveling South for surgery and may need some assistance let me know & if I can help I will.

Hi I recommend getting it done in Mexico. I will be doing mine here because I am mexican (duh! ) but yes a lot of doctors are really nice and VERY experienced. I would also suggest not gaining that much weight because I actually did it and it is a little dumb because I feel so uncomfortable and my surgery is not until a few months from now. Get my point? I have to look heavier for the whole summer and nothing fits, I have to walk around with pants bc of that. The only upside is that I will get the surgery this year and everything will change soon, but I feel so uncomfortable right now. I strongly suggest not doing what I did and just find a doc that will do it with the weight you have. good luck! If you need advice for Mexico let me know!

I understand what you mean when you say I am not afraid to die. I think it is a relatively safe surgery compared to most of the other more invasive ones. It is the safest one of the most effective ones. I now what you mean about the shopping also, I can´t wait to be able to enjoy all of life´s gifts from a more healthy perspective. You will feel amazing soon I am sure. When are your getting yours?

You JUST had your surgery! It has been so little time and you´re already feeling FINE! I can´t wait to get mine! I didn´t know that was a possibility thanks for telling me that can happen. I am so thankful for the motivation. They have recently approved me and I am so delighted. Good luck with the rest of your journey.xoxo

Yes I agree health should come from the inside out! Yes I am thinking of entering Martial Arts once I get me surgery done. I think I will feel more confident and more able to preform those exercises. I am glad I found this site. It is so supportive.

Thank you so much for sharing this with me. I am so glad you are doing awesome! I feel the SAME. I am sick & tired and it is like what I am going through right now is not me. Like if getting the sleeve is meant to be. My family is not supportive because they think it is even more dangerous and silly and that I should continue to go on with my life feeling the way I feel and not do anything about it. The good thing is that my girlfriends have been very supportive during this process. They will be there for me every step on the way. I know there is so much more out there I can enjoy if I just start to be proactive about this. I wish I will feel like you once I get mine.

Wow. Your words are so inspiring. Thank you for sharing so deeply about how you feel. I am about to get my sleeve and this has just inspired me to not be afraid. Of course for me it is much harder because my family won´t support me. They don´t believe in this type of surgery, they think it is too much. They just rather see me overweight than risk complications. So I am doing it all by myself but with the support of my friends. They have been like my family to me now that I know I can´t rely on my family for this. It has been so hard not to have them by my side but hey I am the only one responsible for achieving my dreams or not. So I want to thank you again for what you posted. I feel the same way about the site. Congratulations!

Hello everyone how are you? I am new around here and I seem to like hanging out here a lot... I am Mexican and I will get my sleeve done here this year... I am a little nervous but super exited. How have your experiences been?
