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.

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

http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/

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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
