Some precautions for post-op scuba diving...learned the hard way!

This week brought with it some major milestones. First and foremost, I turned, argh!, 50! Second, 3 months post-op. For my birthday, my daughter, son and I went to San Carlos, Mexico to scuba dive with a few friends of mine. While we had a blast, I learned a few definite don'ts related to VSG and diving. First, you can vomit underwater.:biggrin2: It's not fun, but it's possible. On the flip side, it's best to eat WAY before diving, eat extra slow and eat extra small amounts. Second, when your friends say let's go for ice cream right after lunch, SAY NO!:mad0: But even with all the "reminders" that life is a bit different with VSG, I still had a great time. Weight loss is at 47lbs, doesn't get better than that. My daughter was amazed when she got off the plane and saw me! She knew nothing of the surgery or weight loss. What a great feeling that was! I'm loving my sleeve more and more.:cursing:
