My doctor told me I can start taking my vitamins after my post op visit in one week. Right now he only wants me to take omeprazole and promethazine for heartburn and nausea

I'm just making it home from the hospital. Everything has been ok so far. Oh except for that sneeze I thought was going to kill me. I'm trying to get my fluid in. I've already have 32 oz today. I'm going to try to drink this protein water so I can get a 2 for 1

Well my surgery went well. I have a lot of pain. Maybe from the gas they put in. They gave me pain meds in recovery through IV but now they are giving me crushed pills. I'll be here in the hospital for two days. I did drink 3 oz of water and didn't feel sick

Having my surgery this morning ?on my way to the hospital now

I'm 5'2 gastric sleeve

CW 227 GW 140 I'm 42. I lost 10 lbs on liquid diet. I'm having a VSG

Good luck with your procedure April Marie. Mine is tomorrow morning at 7:30 10/29. I'm so excited my day has finally come. I'm ready to start my new journey

Congratulations on your procedure. I am having the sleeve done 10/29. I wish I would have done it years ago. I do think about how life will be after. I know I got this and it will be just fine after the first few months. You will do great as well. Please keep us posted on your progress

I wish I could introduce you to my niece. She had bypass surgery in 2012 at the tender age of 20. At 1st she questioned herself about it and now after losing over 200 lbs she wouldn't have it any other way. She's happy she's now able to do things she never thought possible. The crazy thing is she eats like a grown man smoke and still drink alcohol. She has an amazing social life just like a young adult would. So yes you may have to give up the things you love for a short time but soon you will be able and free to do as you please without gaining any weight back. My poor niece wants to gain 10 lbs but can't because every time she put on a few pounds it fall right back off. She is now 26 and she's so in love with the new her. It's ok to second guess yourself but don't worry about it. You will have your life back sooner than you no it. This time it will be the new healthier smaller you.

I am having VSG on 10/29. My doctor want me to return to work on 11/13. I have a desk job as well. He said until I get comfortable with the new change he requires I stay off for 2 weeks

I am having VSG on 10/29 I'm so excited about my new journey. Congratulations and good luck with procedure

I have Cigna they did not require any weight loss visits but I did have to do a nutritional class and see a psychologist
