Indian Sleever

I am 25 year old and never had a girl friend.. I am handsome to look at, and I think i am intelligent and have a good sense of humor. But still, I was shy to approach girls coz i am fat.

Well, I am sleeved and ready for my first kiss next year!

I had the surgery on the 16th, came back home yesterday evening. I have 6 incisions, one inside my belly button and 5 above it.

The surgery was at 10 AM, and i was transferred to the ICU at 1 PM. Rested for a while and got up for a walk at 5 PM. Did a few rounds and came back to rest. I was shifted to my hospital room at 7 PM the same day.

I didn't have any drain pipes attached. The surgeon said everything was normal. I had slight fever 2 days later, due to the pain caused by IV needle.

I still have gas pains, guess it is inevitable. But I am recovering well. The pain has been tolerable, i would rate the intensity of the pain as 4 out of 10.

Hi RK - I do wish you well. I think you will have a similar experience. The procedure was a little longer but I didn't mind because I was asleep. The pain is well controlled after, I had a pca and then by the second day on oral medication. The most challenging part initially was getting all of the recommended fluids in and remembering all of the post op instructions. But it does get easier every day, Best of luck to you!!!

Thanks a lot.. I will keep you all updated.

I'm undergoing a similar surgery next week from the only surgeon in India who does this. He's also featured in a national newspaper. Read it here: One inch wonder

Wish me good luck

Rk

Wishing you all the best!

Mine is on Tuesday - Nov 16th..

Hi!

My VSG date is 16th of November 2010 which is just a few days away. I'm feeling a little anxious already, but i stay motivated looking at the success stories in this forum.

I am a 25-year-old Male from Bangalore, India. I am currently 266 pounds and my goal weight is 161 pounds. So i have over 100 pounds to lose. Current BMI: 41.5

The doctor is Mr. Rajshekar Nayak (http://rnayak.com/about.php) of Gunaseela Hospital, who has already performed over 50 VSG's and over 90 Gastric Bypass surgeries. Recently he was featured in a newspaper for performing the surgery with just a single incision of 1 inch under the belly button. Here's the link to the feature: One inch wonder

He is a well known surgeon and i also spoke with a few of the peeps who underwent VSG from him, and they're very happy that they did it.

I asked Doc if I should bring anything along with me on the day of Surgery, he said to bring just the diagnostic test reports and to get admitted in the hospital the day before surgery. But i want to know if there's something that would help me stay comfortable.

I'll start blogging about my journey, and this is my first entry.

Pray for me!

Namaste.

All the best for the surgery

Is Gastric sleeve a painful procedure? What was the pain, on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being very painful)

100 LBS lost in 5 months, is MIND BLASTING!!

I'm so happy for you!! Have a great life!

Oh ok..

Wow, 58 lb lost in less than 3 months!! Quite impressive!

Hi!!

Is it only me, i notice most of the posts and discussions are happening in between the fairer sex.. I hardly can see any posts by men in this forum..

Or is this surgery not preferred by men?
