My surgery date is August 5th and my husband has his first consult today. We want to do it as close together as possible. It will be great for support. Your thoughts? BTW, I had my consult and approval all in less than 2 weeks!

How many oz can your pouch actually hold and how far post op are you?

I am from Charlotte. My Dr. Is Dr. Carl Lowe. He is awesome!

When is the typical stall period? I know its early and I am only 2 weeks Post op. I was 227 pre- liquid diet and 212 day of surgery and today I am 202. I have stayed on 202 for about 4 days now. I have read countless blogs and forums regarding stalls and trust me I don't want to panic now. When are the stalls typical? Another thing I haven't really felt full yet. I am eating softs now. I am just praying my dr. took enough out. Thanks for allowing me to vent.

This was sooo helpful!! Thanks all. I'm putting up the scale and only weighing in once a week.

I am in tears! You all are amazing!! I speak nothing but blessings and favor of God in all of your lives!

Wow you look awesome!!! Are you working out daily? What is your daily caloric intake like?

Congratulations!!! I'm 2 lbs from onderland

I am a runner and I love Brooks. Most runners wear brooks or mizunos.

Has anyone created a YouTube video to document their journey? If so what made you decide to document. I am thinking about it but I'm not really open with everyone.

I'm 10 days post op and I'm eating mushies. My stomach is rumbling and grumbling everything I swallow or i guess the food goes down almost like my tummy is growling. Does this ever stop? Has anyone else had this happen? When will that tightness in between my breast stop as I'm eating? My dr says that's the top of my new narrow stomach. Thanks in advance all. Signed Nervous Nelly

Thanks everyone. I tried again today and took smaller bites and it was better with the tightness. It makes me slow down.

Peggy what's your YouTube channel name?

I just picked up one today to try it out. Will report later.

What size bougie did your surgeon use? I just learned about this today. My surgeon used a 36F. i guess this determines how large your sleeve is.

I was sleeved August 7th also.

Where do you find them. What do they taste like?

Good for you Peggy. You are in a demographic of your own which is awesome. My aunt is considering the surgery and I'm going to have her subscribe and follow you. Thank you

Wow first of all congratulations on the 200 lbs. that's the most I've ever heard anyone lose with the vsg. But I would agree that it's time for a follow up appt with your dr.
