Hi everyone....well, after about a month of reading this website, my VSG is finally here...tomorrow!! Very nervous and excited and unsure about the week ahead and the weeks to follow, etc....any suggestions on how to stop worrying? Thanks! I'm here in Atlanta and Dr Chris Hart is my surgeon...:001_unsure:

I can't imagine not being worried. You'll be fine though. Best wishes on a speedy recovery. Let us know how you are doing when you can. I look forward to hearing about your progress.

Hi everyone...I just got home this afternoon from the hospital...was sleeved May 12 (yesterday) am....doing well, just very tired! I've been sipping all day and taking in some broth...will advance to the protein shakes, etc. tomorrow for the next week, as designed by my dr here in Atlanta (Dr Chris Hart). All in all, not too bad....thanks for all the well wishes and I will keep you updated more. Susan

Hey Susan. I'm glad that everything went well. I can't wait to hear more about your post-op diet since it seems that they vary quite a bit. I think my doctor's is one of the more conservative post-op diets so I'm a little worried about that. Where did you have your surgery? Do you think one day in the hospital was enough or could you have used another day? I'm worried about coming home too early and overdoing it. That's been my experience with prior surgeries.
