I was pretty good last night but having a tough morning and scheduled to go in at 1pm. So scared of surgery and long term consequences. I know it’s somewhat irrational but probably normal. I think my husband wants me to back out so need to keep it together here.

.

After meeting with my Surgeon and doing research we both agreed on VSG. My understanding is that Co-morbidities, specifically Diabetes plays into this equation. Luckily I have none of the previously mentioned so Sleeve seemed right.

I would point out that while RNY does add the malabsorption, I read in several articles that after 2 years that advantage subsides considerable and you need to be careful w/ calories.

Good luck with your Journey.

Cheers!

What did your Surgeon say?

My Dr. requires on a 2-3 day liquid diet before surgery so If you get back on it today you should be totally fine. Good Luck

Hey! He is one of the doctors from the group that I was recommended to. I was actually referred to Dr Schmidt. 2 ppl I know had Dr Eid and one choose Dr Trivedi. I am going to a seminar in December!

Dr. Schmidt, Trivedi and Ewing ran the HUMC seminar. Very informative.

I met with Trivedi today. Very nice man, lots of patience with all my questions. I also did my nutritional evaluation with their in house Nutritionist. All went smooth. Now, six months for pre-op diet and I should be all set.

I have my first appointment with Dr. Trivedi from Advanced Laparoscopic Associates in Paramus coming soon. I attended the HUMC seminar and was very impressed. My GP recommended Dr. Trivedi, but everywhere I ask, I hear the same thing. He is the goto guy in the area.

Per the Lapband, everything I read kinda pointed to VSG as the best for success. Everyone's journey is different. Good Luck!
