Looking for a Surgery Buddy - I’m being scheduled in early October for my VSG

August 18th I will be having my gastric band taken out and leaving time to heal before the actual VSG. I’m looking for a surgery buddy who will be having their VSG in October along with me...

I’m pre-op for VSG and I currently have the gastric band. My band is out of place and will be coming out in August. I have horrible GERD / reflux and have been taking Pepcid, Tums, and even my husbands Peppermint Oil Pills (OTC for gas). This is one of the reasons I’m having it converted to VSG in October. Good luck!!

Hi all! I’m in the pre-op stages for gastric sleeve - I’m wondering how long your surgeons said your recovery would be? My MD said 2-3 weeks, but I feel like that’s a lot of time... I also realize it’s all dependent on the type of job, etc. So how long were you told for your recovery / out-of-work restrictions?
