I’m 57 and having VSG on April 5.

Me too! I’m now on my pre-op diet but I held so many food funerals. Farewell to tacos, fried chicken, mac and cheese. We had a good run but we are officially not together anymore.

@Kristinqtpie - it was rough because of the gas pains that settled in my shoulder and the unexpected hiatal hernia repair that Dr. Apel took care of. One day of rough and now I’m feeling pretty good. The IV therapy made a tremendous difference. The entire staff at Blossom and Warm Springs Surgical center were amazing!

Had my surgery on 04/05 at Blossom Bariatrics in Las Vegas. Day of surgery was rough but I’m definitely better today after IV therapy.

i went to Blossom as well and they were great. I paid the amount I was quoted before surgery. Some of the tests/procedures were billed to my insurance but what I was quoted I paid. Very professional and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Good luck!

I went to blossom and the price they stated is the price I paid. They were very professional and I have not received any additional bills.

So I found a Protein Drink that I really like and I'm thinning it out with low fat fair life milk and that's making me feel a lot better. I also today found this little squeeze bottle of calorie free flavor that I LOVE. I actually have to make myself slow down lol!!! Feeling better now!

Lol, I thought I was alone too! Yesterday I had pizza and wings. My mom keeps telling me to just enjoy myself before I’ll really have to limit it. I hope I’ll be able to grab control of the reigns when it’s diet time! 😬

Today is the end of my love affair:) I think I may be that person to drive from place to place just to get those few things I will miss the most, right after sons football practice I will enjoy this fully until we officially break up tonight at bedtime:)

April 5, exactly 2 weeks. liquid diet starts today!

I had mine on 2/21. I did push out my departure by a day and left Sunday instead of Saturday. All of us that were there had successful procedures, one lady was admitted to hospital for inpatient surgery after her endoscopy revealed it would need to be an open, not laparoscopic procedure, so they are prepared with hospital care if needed. I also had a hiatal hernia repair so I had a little sub sternal pain (also, I’m allergic to Toradol so I had slightly less pain meds than everyone else but it was manageable)
Drs and nurses were great. The pre op testing is super thorough. I liked the hotel and the transportation as a nice touch. Not having to rent a car reduced the stress and there is a Walmart a walkable distance from the hotel to grab supplies if needed. We ubered to the strip once or twice to check things out before surgery and it was affordable. Good luck !!

Thanks! I’m very excited and nervous.

I’m having my VSG with Blossom on 04/05. So far it’s been a pleasant experience. (Knock on wood)
