well I finished all the testing and now have to wait for Dr. to get reports and then submit, waiting is soo hard.Any advice? Carla:confused1:

I can only suggest that you keep on reading about the VSG and bariatric surgery in general. There are some good books out there even if they don't cover the VSG in detail.

totally me too!!!!!!! Just had all my testing done. Psych eval on Monday. Then they submit the stuff to insurance and I wait for the qualification. It sucks waiting but obssessing about the surgery and checking all the realted websites helps pass the time lol Obesity Help. com is a good one. Not as good as this one I'm finding but the people are super nice. Also I am compiling a list of shake recipes for the 2weeks before and after surgery and tasting the different brands. So I will post a blog to review my favs.

great, i'll watch for you blog, I've started cleaning closets as a way of preparing..lol you know I'm desperate, I guess I need to get books but the info on this website is great. :w00t:

If you haven't already, you could check out,

She is a RNY patients has lots of yummy recipes for different food stages, and some tips on WLS in general.

Also, Fatty Fights back is a great WLS blog. You would have to go way back through her archives because I think she's 2yrs out, and she had VSG.

I'm not a book reader, but I love word puzzles, and mindless internet games.

The closet clean up is a great time filler. You can come do mine if you wanna! ! ! Just kidding, and fingers crossed you don't have too long to wait.
