@MissE, thank you, I am eating very well, maybe a little well, could be the issue. I am exercising too, I hope you keep me posted on your progress since we are close in surgery dates, take care'

Thanks y'all! My surgeon was Dr. Joseph Kuhn, he is amazing! Not to mention that he is the current President of the Texas Association for Bariatric

Hello everyone, today is my 1 month post op, I am doing great. I have lost 19 pounds, I feel as though I am losing slow compared to others at 1 month post op. I will take it though, I keep telling myself "at least the scale is moving down and not up"!

Hi, mine was 12-21-11

I am so sorry to hear about your leak, I glad that you caught it, I wish you a very speedy recovery!

Hello all, I'm 2 weeks post op, my check up went well I'm done 17 pounds! I'm officially able to start "soft foods" all in all I've had an amazing recovery, wishing everyone the best!!

Thank you all, I've had a very easy recovery, I even asked my doctor if this was " the calm before the storm?" and I was told no and that I was just one of the people who have done exceptionally well, praise God!

Tempred, best wished to you and to have a wonderful recovery!

Creed812 Dr.Kuhn, at Baylor downtown, he is an amazing surgeon!

Tiday marks one week since my vsg, my doctor visit went well, I'm done 13 pounds! My recovery has been wonderful, I was prepared for the worst but have had nothing but good things. I'm very excited for the up comings chages, take care all!

Hello everyone, well I am 1 day post op, still at Baylor hospital, I will be going home today. I will have to say that it is not that bad as far as pain, I have had NO nausea, both water and broth are going down nicely. Wishing everyone in post op stage a speedy recovery!

I'm doing great, still at the hospital dinking my, thank you everyone for the kind words!

As I sit here with my nerves out of control waiting to be called back for surgery, i will have to say that your story has helped calm my nerves, thank you!!

Thank you all, I'm so nervous, I'm headed there now!

I have to be at the hospital at 8:30 surgery to be around 11:00. I have waited 7 months for this and I cannot pinpoint just how I'm feeling at this moment. I can say however that I want to be on the "losers bench!" I'm hoping for an easy surgery and a fast recovery, oh and as pain free as possible!

HI, my surgery date is also 12/21/11, I am still so confused, I want the surgery, I do think that it would be the best thing, but I cannot stop worring about the anesthesia !!

To shoppingbeemom, after reading your post, I would like for you to know that it helped me to calm down, or at least for now. The one thing that did it for me was the following statement "I asked myself how did I want to live the rest of my life". This is so true, thank you, I will try to remind myself of this on surgery day, 12/21/11.

Enixon2010, I feel the same exact way, I want to be excited my head will not think about anything other than fear!! My date is 12/21/11, I started my liquid diet today, not fun. I know that the both of us will come out wonderfully, we just need to turn this fear over to God, he will take care of it and us! God be with you, and a fast recovery!

Spatter2 my date is 12-21 also!!

Hi Diana69, I'm in the same situation as my date is also on 12-21, I'm both excited and nervous. However, getting everything ready for Christmas is helping my nerves. I wish yiu all the best and a speedy recovery!!

That's fantastic Mona777, mine is on 12-21!

Yes ma'am, I'm ready to have it behind me and "start living"

That is fantastic news, I'm so happy for you!

Yesterday was my 6th visit as well, I left there at 12:30 had my approval at 4:00! My date is set for 12/21, so excited and nervous, but so ready to start loosing that I could just scream! Best wishes to all!!

Thank you y'all, I'm not sure what I'm really feeling right now, kinda of confused about it all.
