Depression is very real. I think going through such a major transformation could definitely trigger a tidal wave of emotions and stress leading to depression, which is unfortunate because this really should be a joyous time! Keep in contact with your Dr. and hopefully working together this shall pass! Best of luck!

I can see during the first few weeks but why couldn't you down the road when your pouch is healed? It doesn't seem to make any sense to me how it can hurt you after your healed.....

I'm glad to hear people who took the shorter times didn't have any issues. I have to go back to work at 10 days post op and have been so nervous about it. I've seen people say they took off 6 wks!

I'm not having surgery until June but I'm in Fort Wayne!

Simi close! What part?

Are you thinking has pain?

I'm waiting on this thread to become active. I can't be the only person from Indiana on here.

I would love to find someone close!

Keep us posted please! I want to go back to work about 9 days post op!

Yep!

He charges $5400 for the SIL and your bmi must be between 30-39

I've heard this many times.... I wonder why that is??

Dr garcia also does the SIL

Looking good! How'd your TT experience go?

Do I have to tell my employer or HR manager what I'm doing? I didn't want to tell anyone about the vsg surgery I plan on having with Dr. Garcia. We have pto (paid time off) not sick/vacation days. I am planing on using 7 of my pto days in March to have the surgery. My only concern would be if God forbid there are unexpected complications that keep me out longer. I have a desk job with no lifting required other than picking up the phone and feel like even with a little pain I should be able to push through, but what's your guys take on this?

Don't be discouraged! 19 lbs in 1 mth is amazing! That's almost 5 lbs a week!

Wow awesome stats Jess9395!

Omg did you have your surgery done as an out patient?

I have logged into this website at first on my laptop and just used to connect through fb link. Now when I use my iphone app I cannot get logged in bc I don't have a user name/password. I tried to register using my info but it says that my email is already in use as is my name. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Good job!

Anyone by ft wayne?

Wow 5 Protein Shakes a day? That seems like a lot!

How many oz of liquids should we try to get everyday? And do protien shakes count in that total or is it a certain amount of water plus whatever protien shakes Ontop of that

So how many oz of fluids should we try to consume and do protien shakes count towards that or is it a certain amount of water plus protein shakes?

This is why I am concidering asking my surgeon to just take it out during the operation. Have you had gallstones in the past?
