Thanks to all . Oh i forgot he does it by single incision

November 26 and im so happy. I met my surgeon today i asked him a ton of question and he didnt just asnweer them he elavorated on every single answer. I felt very good abot him. I specially asked him wat he does to prevent leaks, he said he uses reinforcement on the spaples he uses. No deaths, no leaks, 85% sucess rate. He even told me that he treats patients that come from other hospital. I feel good

My you've gotten big. ( and they not talking height) :@

Oh great Thanx

Was just wondering i kno alot of us pre op are wondering. Are there food u cant ever eat again.. I loooove penut butter. Is milk a problem after vsg surgery? Are some things just sickining?

Edy's fruit bars sugar free are so good

Im 5'8 and im 251 lbs and im in the process of getting approved for vsg. Even though im in the 38 bmi i have obstructive sleep apnea which is not good. I dont want to die at 23. Ive also tryed to loose it with diets but comes back and then some. Im tierd of being tierd and achy. Its true it is a life change and is better early because my life will be easier withought 100 pounds.

As long as u do ur part of setting up appt they are good but they have long wait though. I went mid agust and asked up to where they were up to annd she said beggining november so either im mid or end of nov

Where n in wat hospitals oh n insurance companies guys pls Im with metroplus medicade im in nyc and my surgeon is in st lukes

Damn the days seems so long. I cant wait for that day to b tomorrow. I got my secound appt on sept 6 and yes i will get my surgery date. But the wait is sooooooo looooonnnggggg. The lady that sckedules say end of nov beggining of dec. i mean as long as i can start 2013 on a new foot great. Who else is in this waiting room with me..

Congrat on the loss and good luck today. I hope everything goes great n u have a good recovery.

I am also lookin n im going to start a video journal bc i got inspired bc of youtube videos. Once i get a date i will start that. Ill put a threat once i post. Cant wait for the liquid diet( wierd rite)

Well i had my ugi done and it wasnt as bad as i have heard. U cant eat or drink the night before. When they start they make u drink something similar to alka seltzer and they tell u not to burp. Then u have to gulp down a white paste-like substance ( tastes like chalk). Then they put u in diff positions and make u hold ur breath. The final thing is an esophagus x- ray. U lay on ur belly and they make u drink a waterier white liquid (tastes like Water banana milk shake no sugar) and u have to chug it down. Nice Breakfast rite? Amazingly im not hungry after that. Wat was urs like?

Lmao. Ur so funny but i understand wat u sayin. But think about it this way, ull maybe have a cateder n they hurt if they are pulled n stuff. And the iv u wont be able to change ur clothes. Once they remove all that i too am going to change bc the gown makes people feel and look sicker. Wat i hate the most is them waking u up at all hours
