Greetings to all who read this post. I am just 4 days after surgery and I am home after a 3 day Stay. I had to stay 2 extra days due to my heart rate being elevated. I believe it was partially due to the fact that I came in with severe back pain. I'm noticing that with each day, I feel a little better. I'm taking it really slow. I have 2 weeks off work which is beneficial to a good recovery. I am experiencing a lot of soreness in my 5 incision areas. They are not gross or ugly so I'm sure they'll heal nicely. Sometimes I hear voices in my head saying how stupid I was to permanently shrink the size of my stomach. I know it's just Satan trying to discourage me. I believe that I saved my life. I started gaining a lot of weight after my parents and sister passed over recent years. With greiving, I ate a lot without thinking about it. Being 44, a mother, working and taking care of home it cuts a lot of time for a lot of other things (depending I one's situations in life).I gained a lot of weight along with several health problems and physical pain. My PCP suggested the surgery and I diligently resarched it.
Last year I made the decision to have the VGS done. First my husband was against it. It literally took a while year to massage his mind to the idea. I had first started with my now bariatric surgeon. I went through all the preliminaries and then was told the insurance that I had wouldn't cover it. I changed jobs and the insurance was different so I found out that they'd cover it . I went through the 2 week all liquid diet and finally made it to my surgery date.everything was done very professionally. I was told to walk a lot as much as I can stand.
I know that my introduction is long. I just wanted everyone to get the whole picture. I wanted to introduce myself and my story along this journey. I feel I made a great decision for myself. Can anyone out there share suggestions or comments for additional support? I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Hello ladies,
I am new to the group philly_girl_in_DE mu surgery date is 3/29 too. I have to be there at 6:00am. You ladies are very strong and brave luckily I only had to do 1 week of the Optifast diet. I do not think I would have made 2 weeks.

Jimmy was skin and bone when he was rescued. You could see every bone in his tail. He was used as a bait dog. All his teeth were filed down flat. He is the sweetest gentle dog I have owned. Not a mean bone in his body. For all you weight loss people a rescue pit makes a great companion and walking/running buddy!????????

About to head to bed.... tomorrow is sleeve day. Doing Clear Liquids all day has not been difficult at all for me today. Though I did keep busy doing things most of the day.
See y'all on the flip side!

Yes Shell I have the support of my partner and family back in NZ. So I am lucky in that respect. Also most of my friends are aware and again most feedback has been supportive.

I am out of surgery and doing well. The pain meds are wonderful so I am not experiencing much pain. No nausea, I asked for the patch. I love the ice chips, I just tried to walk to the bathroom and got really dizzy, I need to take it slower. The staff here at Kiaser are amazing!

I'm going back tomorrow. I'll let you guys know how I do.

PPI is a proton pump inhibitor. It is a reflux medication that actually reduces acid production vs controlling it.
Pepcid and Zantac are NOT PPI's. Nexium, Prilosec, Prevacid, etc are.

What is a PPL?
