    Lubbock Vsg 100Lbs

    Stayed 1 night post op. No sign of anything. No post op testing.
  2. I started my process on July 5, 2012. My surgery was on July 26. All went well. Doctor had me off for 2 weeks post op. Went back to work for a day and a half. On that second day I started experiencing vomiting and a severe shoulder pain. Went to the ER, had an xray and upper GI. Leak was detected and was rushed to my surgical hospital 6 hours away. Spent the next 6 weeks in the hospital having various non-invasive surgeries. Out now. 100lbs down. Feeling better.
  3. Having a hard time eating even 2 oz of chicken breast. Chewing to applesauce consistency but filling quickly. Know I need to get my proteins. What else should I do? Tuna goes down much better.

    Small Portions At Restaurants

    I went out twice this week to celebrate a family event. First restaurant let me have a 3oz sample of crawfish bisque and I almost died and went to heaven. I just explained my situation and they were very accommodating. No charge! Second restaurant also have me a 3 oz sample of beef stew broth no chunks, gratis. Guess I have just gotten lucky.
  5. Congrats. Remember every day is a victory!

    Getting Sleeved This Week

    I will be 2 weeks out in 3 days. Looking forward to the semi-solid foods. Follow the doctors orders is my best advice. The post-op is painful not gonna lie. I had a major issue trying to take liquid pain meds. May want to ask for morphine drip or patch instead. Will feel like you did 1000 crunches each time you get up. I was over that in about 3 days. Try and walk as soon as you can. Good luck.
  7. Looking forward to my 2 week consult and moving to eggs to replace my protein shakes. Why am I wanting eggs???

    Dr Frank Felts

    Did you have your sleeve surgery? Did have mine with Dr. Felts on July 26, 2012.
  9. I am seeking a VSG group or to start a VSG support group. My insurance and doctor know of none.
