Does anyone post from our group anymore? I’m 49 pounds down since February and still need to lose 38 more pounds. Coming off slowww.

I haven’t seen any posts in a while. I think it was such a terrible shame that just as I recovered from surgery covid took over our lives and I am not on program as much as I would have hoped. I have lost 32 pounds which is 32 more pounds than I have lost in 7 or so years so I’m not at a total loss. I have 45 more pounds to go. I am hitting it hard the whole month of July. I hope that will get me back to focusing on my goals.

@Xx1jpt5xx so very sorry about your loss. Just want to say that with things already going pretty badly that must feel like a real kick in the gut. Be careful to monitor your pain. Might want to see the doctor if it persists. Hang in there.

Had my surgery yesterday around 10:00 am. So glad it’s over. Everything seemed to go well I just can’t lay down or pass any gas so the pain is rough. Nurses don’t give anything because they say gas meds don’t work because this gas is within the cavity of the body. I just hope this passes soon. Anyone have a cure?

12 days since surgery and still not moving my bowels any suggestions? I think I have tried everything OTC and prescription but maybe there is something I missed.

Congratulations I had mine 3 days ago. I was done as an outpatient. Released a half hour after my procedure. Everyone is different but I’m doing fine.

I’m scheduled there for my surgery on 3/6. I have insurance (excludes WLS) and I am paying 10k out of pocket. I’m hoping this is the best money I ever spent.

You will definitely enjoy the experience with this group. I’m 3 days post op so I’m not in a position to speak on results yet but I am happy that I went through with it.

It replenishes you’re fluids. Since you’re not really eating or drinking much that day. They also added a little something for nausea.

Thank you. I had Matt Apel do my surgery actually. He was great. Loved the Iv therapy. Will definitely get another round when I get home to Virginia. Walked all over Vegas yesterday just a day after surgery.

Just had my VSG done in Vegas. Great experience. Called them 3 weeks ago and I was scheduled right away. They do all the labs the day before surgery. Everyone is very nice. My first post so hope it is helpful.
