  1. I was Sleeved on Wednesday Sep 21st. Passed the Leak Test, Released on Friday So I have a series of questions, fears, concerns. 1. I know I am suppose to take in 64oz of liquids but everytime I drink I hold liquids but I can feel the liquid entering the stomach and get a little bit if pressure pain. Or Gas pain. IN fact my next question I am constantly feeling Bloated and Gassy. Will this eventually go away? It is depressing. I want to feel normal again and I just feel bloated 24/7 since Another question is How long till I can safely say I wont spring a leak on my new VSG? I had my dog accidentally jump on my stomach and I got scared about that. And lastly will I ever be able to enjoy foods I use to love? I am entering depressions and regrets 4 days out. Worrying ill never know an Egg on buttered English Muffin again. Or pizza or a cheese Burger.. Someone please respond and help me
  2. I love that this turned into a debate on Vaping in general and I still haven't received an answer to my questions.

  7. So I was told need to quit smoking 2 months prior to my VSG procedure. My question is, would Vaping Nicotine Free be alright? Its only Propelyn Glycol which is found in Iced Cream & Bacon. And Vegetable Oil.
  8. What about Vaping?
  9. Another issue is I smoke cigarettes and still have not quit

  11. My worry is about the sagging skin under the Beck. I have a friend who is about 40-50 and he said he had to get a face lift after his surgery.

  18. Hi everyone! So I am 30 years old. I was fat my whole life. Around 23 I managed to lose 200lbs on my own. However my life changed since 22 and I managed to put it all back on. So I am going for the Gastric Sleeve Surgery in July (just about) I have some questions. Okay so I will divide this into 2 sets. 1 Health related, and 2 Casual 1. I weigh 346lbs currently. And there is no way to predict for everyone but on an assumption. How much weigh will I expect to lose? And is it as rapid as I am reading? 2. How bad is the saggy skin afterwards? Is it mainly the stomach, or do you get the turkey neck (pardon me) as well? 3. Heard there is bad acid reflux after the surgery (Set 2) Ive talked to predominantly Women who have gotten this surgery. And they all tell me that after the surgery people treated them differently. They were suddenly an object of attraction. And to be careful because people who otherwise rejected them came out the wood work suddenly liking them. Is this true for men as well? Does your Penis size grow? I cannot deny the major reason behind this (which should be health as I am starting to develop high blood pressure, family history of diabeties and also diagnosed sleep Apnea) but the main reason is vanity. I am single and 30 and I want to meet a nice girl and get married and settle down. And unfortunately todays day and age for a fat guy it isn't in the cards, or the easiest game to play Apologize for long read. Signed up just now to ask so figured get it all out there at once Thank you!
