Yes OMG I was getting crazy dizzy all the time. They surgeon & nurse said it was because I was not drinking enough Water, and my potassium & electrolytes were low. It has gotten a lot better. I am a month out and I only get dizzy in the morning when I get out of bed.

Usually an Ng tube isn't something that is placed in an emergency situation such as if you are unconscious, and when placed they measure from your physical external dimensions so not to place too much tube... It's a procedure that is not done with a scope!

I am 5'5 and my weight on Feb 4 2014 at first appt at WLS center was 263 with a BMI of 43. I went on the table at 255 April 8 2014! I heard from anyone who I told that I wasn't that big and what kind of surgeon would allow you to have RYGB? I simply told them I was 110+ lbs over weight and classified as morbidly obese and therefore I would be a fool to pass up on such a valuable tool that I was able to receive! Today I will be 8 wks on Tuesday and have lost a total of 48 lbs so far and all the haters that bad mouthed what I was doing are now my biggest fans, go figure!

No antibiotics because I've had C. diff, not because of VSG.
NG tube is a nasogastric tube. You don't want someone shoving one down blind (without the use of a scope) because they could puncture your sleeve if they are expecting a full size stomach at the other end.

Don't over use Protein in a single shake, the body only uses 30 grams per meal.,if you drink it all at the same time your body doesn't benefit!

OMG you have to have V8 juice , it makes you feel human again and it's on my stage 2

I must be strange, because I don't mind telling anyone. Most people at work know and all of my friends do. All of them have been supportive. If I come across anyone who wants to be judgmental, I'll put them in their place. Otherwise, I don't really care who knows.

My date is 4/8 and I can't wait, I tossed all of my clothes this weekend because I close on my new house 3/21 and why bother lugging all the big clothes when I will only have to do it again, I kept tee shirts, long sleeve tees and leggings and exercise shorts and 2 pairs of stretch denim.... Yup, I don't plan on needing them EVER again!

My date is tomorrow as well, 8:15 check in....
I suffer from anxiety terribly and take several Meds for it as well. I am so calm and feel at peace with my surgery tomorrow,it is kind of weird! Bring it on.......... Good luck to us all who are joining the losers club tomorrow

Hey everyone! My surgery date is 4/7! I'm very excited and nervous!

My date is April 8. I was expecting March but the communication between the nurse coordinator and OR booking broke down. So coordinator had me on like the 3rd week of a liquid diet before she realized the surgery (due to surgeon being on vaca in March ) wouldn't be until 5 weeks later. So I was told to stop the liquids and then to restart them 2 weeks prior to surgery. Smh! Anyway it's been a long journey for me had lapband 1/11/11. Made the decision to revise 12/12, band removed 10/15/13 and now I'm here.

Hello..was told by my Drs. Nurse that I'll be called in to see my Doctor on 26th and give a date for surgery in April!! So excited Started this journey in June 2013...can't wait..so excited!

I start shake for breakfast, shake for lunch, and 3 oz meat with veggie for supper on march 26th with clears 24 hours before. Anyone else nervous about two weeks of living on shakes? Or for the surgery?

Yay I'm April 9th too!!

My date is April 9th!!!
