Hello,

pretty new to this side of the board...had my heart set on the band and then watched how the weight just didnt come off for a friend of mine and then watched my cousin have the VSG and watched the lbs just literally melt off in months. Made my decision alot easier!

Anyway, if all goes right, I will have surgery with Dr Garcia in TJ on June 14th. Was hoping to connect with other people having surgery on or about the same time! My support system right now is my husband, who is leaving in less than 1 month to go work in Alaska for 6 months :-( The only other family I have is my sister, who doesnt approve and my father who has other things on his plate to worry about. I did get mmy Aunt to go with me to Mexico and we are both excited at the chance to spend some time together (she lives 6 hrs from me)

Really looking forward to finding friends to connect with....Im always down for a good text conversation, or email!

Goood luck to everyone!

:-)

Congratulations on your decision, I thought about the band too until I did my research and decided the sleeve was the was to go. I am having my surgery May 10 with Dr. Kelly,.am traveling alone but am super excited to do it! My husband and daughter are super supportive, and my mom is fearful but understands I am intelligent and can make very good informed decisions. Good luck with your surgery!

June surgery sisters: my family have been planning a Disneyland trip in late August. I'd much rather you in September, when its a bit cooler, less crowded, and I'd be another month out from surgery. Here is my dilema. I have 4 kids, one is college aged and the other three will be in first (twins) and third grades. I'm. Not all too worried about the little ones missing a couple of days in Sept. because they can easily make it up. Its my eldest. College doesn't usually let you make up work. So, do you think I would be ok ten weeks out to endure four days it Disney? Or, should we postpone for another month??

The hotel we chose, serves free Breakfast daily, and m-th they serve free dinner, so its a big savings for our family of six to go during more it the week ( sat - wed) Or, should we postpone for another month??

Sue I would suggest putting your question on the post sleeve forum if you have not already. It's a great question and maybe people who had the surgery before and did what you are planning in doing would have a better idea if it's a good idea or not. Has for your son in college, depending on his classes is whether or not he can afford to miss school. When I was undergraduate some semesters I took classes that it did not matter if I missed two weeks, but other semesters if I missed one day I was completely lost! If he is taking any sciences, specially the ones that require laboratory time, or math that he finds complicated I would not suggest missing it, but if he is having and easy semester of classes then by all means. He can also talk to the professors before he registers for classes and find out their attendance policy, some count attendance in their grading but most do not. Most will not have their testing schedule this early but do have a testing policy that might allow him to take an exam early in the event your vacation happens to be during an exam. Good luck!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
