How long after the surgery are you cleared to go swimming? I'm having my surgery June 20 and there is a lot of summer after that to spend with my three kids. Will I be able to go swimming with them this summer? Thanks.Maybe you actually GOT strep while in the hospital. Maybe you could go to your GP for antibiotics?Did you have liver function tests and liver ultrasounds prior to surgery? Why didn't they catch this before surgery?I am not a "post-oper," but I just wanted to post to tell you that I hear your pain and fear, and to hang in there... Most everything looks brighter in the morning.Best of luck to you! Be well!So, then, what do you think in response to the OP's question?When is the next one?As my June 20th surgery date approaches, I find myself wondering how many people view their surgery as unsuccessful. How many people regret the decision? How many people would have done it differently if they had to do it again? If you have a story like that to share, will you please? Thanks in advance. MelissaJune 20th...I didn't find it bad at all. I treated it like a mini vacation. Brought all my favorite stuff to the sleep center. It was great. You may not want to go by me though... I have three small children and could use a break.I never even thought about this! Why might this be necessary and/or important?XCan you post it here too?Sounds kind of like what I experienced while I was on Atkins....I have not had the surgery yet ( 6/20), but my percentages would be: 60% health, knees, hips, heart 30% confidence issues 10% HopefulnessI am due for VSG surgery on June 20. Last night I believe I had a gallbladder attack. If I can hold off until June 20, do you think they could do the gallbladder at the same time that they do VSG?That's horrible! What's the next step? Did they say?I was NOT there.Couldn't you have a deviled egg?It is much easier to view before and after pics in a thread than it is in the gallery. Maybe there should be a forum just devoted to before and after pics? Just an idea... The pics are one of the things that motivate me the most and they are difficult to access them on here...Pics! Pics, please!I am scheduled with Dr. G for June 20th! He seems really kind.Is Fitbit an iPhone app? There is a free download in the iTunes store...I LOVE this idea, and I am going to start it TONIGHT!
