As I inch towards my VSG on August 11 ( in Tijuana), i feel like I'm getting expontially more anxious, nervous, just plain crazy! I find myself logged into VS Talk and other websites every waking movment of the day, even while i'm at work. I have it on my phone....it's ridiculous. I think part of my anxiety comes from the fact that 1). I"m leaving the country for one 2). paying cash money and 3). Not sure how my afercare will play out once I get back to the states. And boy have I read some horror stories....but on the flip side, so many positive stories. I can only hope that I don't fall into that small category of folks who now are dealing with compclications. I mean, I think about this so much, I started having psychosymatic post-op pain in my gut. lol. I even feel like i might vomit after I eat my normal meals...crazy, right!?!

Anyone else going as crazy about this as me???

Hi Brandnew2011,

I just pin pointed my next available time off and sent my request to rescheduling for September 14th. So, if all goes well, i'll still be having surgury with Dr. Garcia, and I can still give you the run down on my experience. I've emailed him a couple of times with a list of questions which he (or his medical staff) thoroughly answered. I feel much less anxious that there weren't a bunch of posts about him on the forums. I'll keep you updated on my date!

Thanks for your condolences. It is greatly appreciated

I'm sorry to hear that. Prayers for her and her family and I hope she can continue her journey when everything gets better.

Thanks, please do that. September 14 is my birthday so go ahead with that day, great things have been known to happen on that day
