Hi New Friends, I’m 5 days post-op and here’s my story… At my heaviest I weighed 265 and I’m 5’2. I’ve dieted my whole life and only twice Iwas successful enough to lose 50 lbs. The last time was in 2005, on Weight Watchers. I was down 50 and feeling great then in 2006 mysister, who was my best friend, died suddenly, our house sold, I got a new job,and bam it came back really fast. I wasso disgusted with myself and majorly depressed. One night I got on the computer and read about Lap-band surgery. Icontacted a surgeon and had the procedure in 2008. I lost 50 lbs. but hated itthe whole way. Lots of pain while eating and at the location of the port. It was never adjusted quite right, too tightor too loose. I also never lost more than50 lbs. after 3 years…So during my last annual visit with my surgeon in Januarywe talked about it and he asked if I had heard of VSG. Now, I had to pay $7,000 out of pocket forthe lap-band, but he said insurance companies are paying for VSG, and thiswould be a lap-band reversal as well, and he was right. I already know I’m going to be happier. I’m pretty sore, especially where the portwas removed, but I already feel better. I’m happy I found this forum and I plan to stick with you guys all alongthe way. Thanks! Fast Weight loss Online at the Weight Loss Center

Hi, I was "sleeved on Monday, June 27th, and I've been doing pretty well. A little gassy but not too bad. No indigestion, but my doc put me on prilosec desolvables right out of the shoot. He said the indigestion is part of it ...you might want to call your doc. My tummy rumbles after I put anything in it, even water! I'm not too interested in food unless my family is eating then I feel kind of hungry. I can't wait until this first two weeks is over because this clear liquid diet is a bummer. I can't wait for pureed soup!
