I tried tagging my surgeon Dr Pablo Fok Russell. He's not in the list.
Im currently waiting to be wheeled to surgery.
I'm so far extremely impressed. I lost a lot more weight then expected on my pre-op diet. I was allowed salad with a Protein choice, 13 almonds and Protein Shakes.
Everyone is very friendly. I had an EKG, bloodwork & xray done as soon as I arrived. The bloodwork was back in an hour! I met everyone. I like everyone.
Two women on my flight rode with me here. They are getting some sort of plastic surgery. One already had a facelift already. Looked good too! I liked riding with people who were familiar. The driver was really informative.
Now I'm waiting to be wheeled back!

All is well. Very attentive. Everyone works as a team. The Dr has came to see me a few times. I have no complaints at all.

Update

Im so impressed with the care I received. I have no negative comments at all.
I have been walking. I have a headache that I'm uncertain if it's related , i get them often. No other discomfort.
Every employee is amazing. I would forget to walk & I was gently reminded.
I am very happy with my decision.
The building is beautiful. I don't have pictures because I took a video.

I took a few pictures . Only one of my room. I was taking videos. I didn't think of pictures until after I left.

They are of my hotel. Absolutely gorgeous. Room service has my menu.
Everything's set up for me. I have a picture of my driver & his car & license number for the morning ride to the airport.

      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. 🤞
