I have had good luck with aloe gel. I buy it at a health food store.

I am 32 days post-op. I did not lose any weight for 3 full weeks then this last week I lost 5 lbs. It will start coming off. Try not weighing yourself. Good luck!

Maybe why no one is talking about the Lap Band is because this is a place for talking about VSG. You might ask people on lapbandtalk.com why they didn't get the sleeve. Also maybe talk to people who went from band to sleeve. For me... When thinking about the band. The chance of having a 2nd surgery for removal is high. But VSG is forever. That can be good or bad. Good luck!!!

I had my op on may 1st. I feel the same way. the last two days I have taken four hour naps. Are you getting heartburn? I don't know if it a lack for protein? Are you writing down everything you eat? I need to start. God luck!

I was sleeved on May 1st. I have heartburn most of the time. Are you taking anything? No matter what happens to us we should try to stay positive, there is no going back. I have just been taking otc drugs for indigestion. Let me know if you find something that work. Feel better soon.

I also am in love with Dr. Luna. It's not just that he is nice to look at, he is so very caring.

I am 10 days post-op with Dr. Garcia also. I felt safe the whole time. Maybe ask him to do some poking around on the internet. I think his thoughts are more fear driven than fact. My whole family said I was crazy. Then I told them where to look, and in less than a week they all called me back telling me to do it. Good Luck!
