Vsg Surgery in a couple of Hrs.



Recommended Posts

I don't if it's just me or anyone else had the same situation that I'm going through right now.

I'm driving to the hospital my Surgery is at 7am and I have weird thought about it...

I've been in my liquid diet for 2 weeks, and I haven't eat anything since 12am.

But, Right now I'm like not hungry but I'm the only thinking about is just food!! =(

Like just plain Food!!! I guess I do I am addicted....

Like driving in the Highway just thinking all the good food that I'm not going to be eating,... and like knowing that It's just a mental thing. I'm trying to keep my mind busy with other things.

I even made a love letter for myself to read it for support and to remember why I'm doing this.

Idk, there are just very weird thoughts.

I'm going crazy for food !!! :'(

Thanks, actually I ended up not having the VSG done.

My doctor Dr. Clayton Frenzel decided to stop the process because my liver still needs to shrink a little bit more. I started at 394 and yesterday I was 172 so, Ive lost 21 pounds but it seems isn't enough.

So, I got the cuts on my stomach but no VSG :(

Ive to continue with my two weeks liquids diet ... loose more weight Dr said At least 20 more pounds,...

To be continue,..

Thats no good Sergio as I was hoping to read about your journey as I'm booked in for December for my VSG in Australia.

Keep going on the pre-op diet and I wish you all the luck in the world, perhaps you may be sleeved in December so I'll keep an eye out for your posts

You want to start your new sleeved life with the highest chance of success right?

I'm sure that you are disappointed but surgery is still going to happen, just delayed a little. Better to have the delay and a healthy outcome!

Thinking of you!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
