@chubrub Congrats! I'm glad your feeling better and doing better with the N/V. Did you have weight gain at first? I'm po day 3 and I'm 6#s up! RN stated it was normal since they pump you full of IV fluid to prevent dehydration once your home. But it was a bit disappointing to see the scale go up not down.

Dec 23,19 gsv Hi everyone Today was my surgery vsg day!! Dr. Said surgery went really good, no issues. I did my preop liquid diet for 2 wks 12/9..and I'm doing liquid phase 1 and 2 for 10 days. Labs are good. RN told me my O2 stats got better just about 6hr ago. Guess they were low prior. Ive been up walking round the floors today too. Going home tomorrow if can hold liquids down: no vomiting and I progress ok. Stomach is very sore. No nausea and pain is a 4_5 most of the time. RN told me my O2 stats got better just about an hr ago. Guess they were low prior. Will come back and post as I progress.

Thank you for sharing. Judy

Hi Alejandro, I'm happy to share experiences with you. I just had my VSG today!! Doing ok, soreness when I move out of the chair and standing up.. I have a few RN friends who have had this procedure and you will not regret it.!

Yeah for you! Keep trying and slowly stand up, preferably with suport your gonna get there. How are you feeling this far out? Is everyone driving by this time? Any Lifting restrictions? My program, Dr. didnt mention either preop. Thanks.

Best of luck! See ya on the other side.

@fitnessRN19 Congratulations, glad you are doing great! Best of luck when you get home. I hope I do as well Monday. Hearing of how well everyone is doing post op gives me hope that mine will be tolerable and I'll be able to return to work quickly.

Glad you made it thru all that! Your a trooper. Hope you continue to do well.

@kesselrunnerup12 Congratulations! I hope you are feeling good and holding water down. Feel free to post as you progress. We love success stories.

@ChubRub @eporter @JediMom WOW!, just Wow! Y'all are doing amazing. Going out and such, you make it look so much easier than any surgery I've had previously. I'm very happy that you are doing so well, so soon. I sure hope my surgery and postop goes as well as yours.???

Hello, so am I. Best of luck to us both. Report back how you did. I will be. ?

Congratulations!?. I know it's a relief to know you probably wont spend another night in the hosp. Good luck, keep us posted on your progress.

Wow. In only 10 short days. I better get my pics now. Lol. Keep us posted..you got this.

I am not the guru, just preop vsg for Monday. So I've read lots of forums that address the fact that hormones are stored in fat. This surgery disrupts all that. I have addressed this with my hubby and tried to prepare him for what's to come. Essentially I need a space to cry get mad or whatever and he should find a something to do without bothering me. His response was "so I get to watch a lot of uninterrupted football? Great" Since I've been thru major surgery a few times, I have found keeping yourself occupied, reading, going for walks and not taking what your temporarily feeling at the moment/hrs out on others makes a huge difference. We all know most men have a hard time figuring us out on our best days, let alone when were a hot mess? Good luck and this too shall pass.

Hey, surgery twin! Yeah. My vsg is Monday too. Are you more nervous than excited or totally ready for it? I haven't been that loyal to the liquid diet at first. (my program requires 2 weeks of it.) But am doing better this week. Let's keep in touch so we can share experiences.

Yeah, a surgery twin! Congratulations to you and your fiancee. Hope you both will share your story as we move forward. I will be coming g ba k to post mine for sure.

Think of it as 11lbs lost each week! If you lost 22lbs every week, eventually you'd disappear ?

Good luck! prayers for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery ?????

Anyone else having surgery 12/23? Looking for a twin to share with. Maybe all the doc's but mine took off for the holiday :))

Wow that is horrible and frightening. Im so glad you made it thru all that and are back home. Hang in there, it will get better ?

Curious to know What was your first insight into something was wrong, or thought it might be a leak? And sent you to hospital? Thanks.

Welcome back, glad you made it home. Rest easy, start slow.

I am I the same boat, desk job, but have 8 days off with the Christmas and new year's holidays included. Im not trying to scare anyone here, but for anyone having surgery, I can not express enough to get up once an hr and walk! This relieves most gas pain and prevents post surgical blood clots that can easily travel to your heart, head or lungs and put you in the ER. Best of luck to you!

Me too, 52 and Dec 23 surgery date. HT 5'2" HW 205, GW 130... post anytime and let us know how your doing.
