Hey guys thanx for the support! I once again had to go the the hospital. I have a huge hematoma on the left side of my abdomen. So painful. Warning! Even if you feel good don't over do it!!! To make it worse I caught a cold. I'm not super woman like I assumed I was. I hated calling the Dr on a Sunday morning. Ohh well, healing time an extra 2 weeks Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey guys! So I've survived!! VSG conversion to RNY. I woke up easily and was feeling great and walking around. I was discharged and my husband and I made the 3 hour drive back home. I woke up this Friday feeling good but annoyed with the drain. Gross. It's been soaking my clothes and just looking nasty. Lol. Around 4pm yesterday I stated feeling sick very suddenly with the chills. Called my Dr. and he said to come back. I did. And I was told that my potassium , Iron, and magnesium levels were very low and I needed to be put thru IV. I just felt terribly. I was finally released a few hours ago. Still feeling a bit weak but I'm glad it wasn't a leak. ???? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you all for the positive responses I'm wanting to rest but I have to keep walking, I'm trying to ease the neck , shoulder and back pain. The gas is the worst. Other than that I'm so glad it's over. The healing Noe begins. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi Rosey! My surgery was scheduled for 1:30 PM yesterday but I didn't actually going to Sergie after 630 which meant I was starving and a bad mood LOL woke up feeling good no pain no discomfort and all the stuff was super nice. I live in Monterey County Salinas to be exact so I had a 2 1/2 to 3 Hour Dr. I didn't really have pain until we got home from Fresno thank God for meds!

Kblanc it's on the baritariceating.com Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Kblanc I recommend Inspire Protein. I just bought the blueberry cheesecake, the Mexican chocolate, and the Peanut Butter cookie protein powder shake mix. So you mix one scoop to 4 ounces of Water or almond milk whatever your preference. It only has 20 g of protein but then again it's only 4 ounces and it's very thin and it's easy to drink it taste great! I also ordered the premade coffee drinks they offer I thought the really good hope you give them a try good luck Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Set a different goal for morning, noon, and , evening. So you have something to look forward to besides eating real food. It's a hard time not being able to chew. I'll be praying for you Ursula Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Try to take a walk when it's dinner time or anytime your family is sitting down to eat and chew on some ice. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

* correction I meant erosion but I was voice texting and it spell check wrote it as Rosian lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Well I first had the lap band which only lasted under two years because it gave me terrible acid and I was told there was a Rosian so my band is taken out, because I had problems with acid I should've gone to the RN why but my surgeon converted me to the VSG. After the VSG I had terrible issues with eating it took almost 6 months just to get out of mushy stage. And I've had problems ever since. Life has been very hard when it comes to eating I could just literally open my mouth after eating and my food comes out. So if you'd like my advice I think you should take your doctors recommendation and do the RNY. Avoid all the problems that I've had and many of us here Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had my sleeve for over 3 years. It took me almost 5 months to be able to eat mushy foods. Then I had a stricture I had an endoscopy next and I was told last year that I had Barrett's esophagus. Not nice, so I'm looking forward to the RNY. I'll be praying for everyone here for a speedy and easy recovery let's all keep in touch Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi just there, I'm having surgery for the same reason. VSG to RNY on the 26th in northern Cali Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Peeps do it all the time, plus this site supports it. I personally went to Med school in Tijuana, and bed side manners and care are better than most places in the US. You will be great. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
