  1. Hello everyone! I am 2days post op. I had VSG on 6/22. Leaving the hospital today. Day one was not too bad. Had quite a bit of gas pain but was up walking the halls. I woke up on day 2, 6/23 and my entire body felt l had been hit by a semi-truck. I stayed another night with increased pain meds and i am up and moving today. I will Be discharged to today as well. Have passed most of the gas and had a BM today, which relieved about 85% of the pressure in my abdomen. Has anyone else experienced full body aches post op? My nurses say this is normal. ??
  2. I hope everything has gone/is going well! ?My sleeve date is 6/22 and i have PCOS as well. Fertility is one of the reasons i decided to go through with this procedure (aside from wanting a generally longer/healthier life). I figured this would be more affordable than IVF and i will get the body I’ve always wanted in the process! ?
  3. Thank you both! @California Guy, I chose VSG!
  4. I am 26 years old. 5’6. My CW is 344lbs , GW is 200lbs. I am so excited and nervous all at the same time! My consultation was 5/28 and they called me today stating they could schedule me as soon as 6/17! I wanted to get a full 2 weeks on the liquid diet so i have scheduled for 6/22 at 9AM. I didn’t think i would have a date so soon after consult. Two weeks i soon. But I’ve been praying for this for a long time! So my excitement definitely overshadows the nervousness. Lol
