    Body jewelry....

    Yes u have to remove them but as soon as survey is over you can put them back in. I had a few body piercings and I had to remove all of them and if you don't then that can cause problems in surgery. Something about the electric with the piercing metal and the instruments they use. If you think they may close up then go to a piercing shop & see of they have a plastic piece to use while ur in surgery. HOPE this helps. ????
  3. Hi everyone I had my Vsg on 6/17/16. I can honestly say only issue I had was when I got home was acid reflux. Has anyone else had to deal with this? also how much protein are you taking in? The day I got out of surgery and went from recovery to my room,I asked to go walk and they nurse was shocked but I actually felt fine just wanted to mk sure any gas I had I wanted to get out. So I walked a little and then was bk in my room because they didn't want me to overdo it..but any chance I got I walked and it really helped! I am so happy I made this decision and looking forward to the new journey and also having support from a wonderful group like this!

    RealityKrys, Yes this 1st week im trying to improvise. I hv made a batch of sugar free chocolate pudding,strawberry Jello and even strawberry/banana smoothie. I am trying to get enough Protein as well. So i hv the shakes and i add it to my smoothies. I love Water too and this whole sipping is crazy but a must...i cant wait to get cleared to workout. How are your incissions...mine are fine my abdomen just a little sore but the pain meds take that away. I am going to weigh myself Friday as that will be a week that I hv had my surgery. This will be an exciting journey...let's keep in touch..I'm just a hop & skip away in Florida. Best of luck! FlGal78 My incisions are good. Tender, but not bothersome. I've been instructed to do Clear liquids for the first two weeks. I need to find out from my surgeon of it will be ok to smoothies now. I so bored with the lack of variety. I'll be in FL in July. Taking my granddaughters to Disney. Yes, let's keep in touch and encourage one another. I'm so excited and looking forward to see what the next two weeks will be like. RealityKrys VSG 6/17/2016 Trying to get the hang of this app. Need tutoring 101! RealityKrys VSG 6/17/2016 RealityKrys, Yes,I'm so excited too...I had one of my incissions the tape just fell off & Dr said that's fine but I just put lil peroxide on it and,kept it moving Lol.

    June 17th Sleeve surgery

    I am doing well also..Its funny after surgery I was like did I really just have surgery??!! I asked to walk once I got to my room after being in recovery...I didn't hv a lot of gas but my throat was sore but that went away the same day. My only issue was the acid reflux. I,had it bad on Sunday but then it got better and it comes and goes but that's about it. How much protein are you intakng? I am trying my best to enough protein but I guess that will get better day by day...how long where u in hospital and how where you after surgery?
