Yes I had a food funeral for a week before my surgery. I ate everything that was my favorite food and lots of it!! Seriously ordered 2 orders of my favorite Thai noodles with the intention of eating one for lunch and one for dinner. Nope I was grieving and needed them both at one sitting!

Me too Starry!! She should write a book on the VSG!! She is just a wealth of knowledge and I wish I had 1/4th of what she knows. I am 7 weeks post op and I can't seem to eat solid foods with out getting the slimes or throwing up. I just can't seem to pulverize the food before I swallow it or I eat to fast. Somedays I think I made the worst mistake of my life, because I miss eating without pain so much.

I am 6 days post op today. I am still having a burning/ ripping like pain from the large incision on the left side. It hurts the most when I try and get into the car, walk to far or when I am trying to sit or lay down. Does or has anyone else had this pain. It started on day 3 and has not eased up at all. In fact I would say it's worse. I did call the surgeon and he said that I might have pulled an internal stitch out, but good lord should it be this painful? If I am just sitting and not moving it does not hurt, but if I turn just the right way I am in tears.....any suggestions?

I was sleeved on the March 23rd. I have a burning pain between my large incision and belly button. My skin hurts to touch and burns. I hope it will go away soon too.

Is there anything safe for us to take to get back in a normal sleep pattern? I've only slept about 3 hours for a couple nights now. I am tired and not too uncomfortable, I just can't sleep.< /p>

I would take a Melatonin. It always helps me sleep. Its natural and safe.

I am one of his patients but I am only one month post-op.

Cheers! and Hello anyway.

Hey JDR! Are you doing well? Did you talk to any of his patients that were a year or so post op? That is what is keeping me from choosing him.

Okay so I really want to find some of Dr. Kelly's patients out here that are 7 months or more post op. Are you out there?? How are you doing?
