4 weeks+

I do the Chobani plain with a little bit of liquid stevia mixed in. The Fage is good too.

I will be out for 6 weeks, but I have a physically demanding job.

I get a small lump in my chest with the pureed food, but it passes pretty quickly.

I don't - sorry.

I had surgery on 8/13 and am down 32.5 lbs.

My surgeon allows no gummy vitamins.

Three weeks post surgery, and I finally went yesterday for the first time.

Sleeved 8/13 by Dr. Schmidt at Hackensack. Down from 280.5 before surgery to 257 in 8 days - 23.5 lbs. tolerating the clear liquid diet well. I see the doctor tomorrow.

Happy birthday! I'll keep you in my prayers!

Yes - Dr. Schmidt, last Tuesday.

Day 5 and nothing. But there's nothing there - it's all liquids.

I'm gassy, but no poop yet :-(

I had my surgery on Tuesday. I'm tolerating the liquids pretty well - got 64 oz. in yesterday (my first full day home)

My surgery is at 9:00 this morning! I will report back how it goes, how I feel, etc.

Best to tell the truth. They'll know if you're lying.

I am in Fairfield (Essex County). My surgery date is 8/13 at Hackensack with Dr. Hans Schmidt. Very excited about it!

It seems to be a very good practice. I especially like Stephanie, the nutritionist there.

I think my biggest fear is having a surgical complication and not being able to tell whether it's normal post-surgical pain or something serious.

I am August 13th!

I highly suggest asking for Michelle, the supervisor of the coordinators. She is a sweetheart, and much more responsive to patients than the regular coordinator. Extension 205, I believe.

I got my surgery date today: August 13. My VSG will be performed by Dr. Hans Schmidt at Hackensack University Medical Center in NJ. Very excited to be through the insurance approval process (got denied twice - finally won on appeal!) and starting the pre-surgical period!
