Im older but this came up on recent topics. I seriously advise the sleeve over band. I was just revised to the sleeve last week and feel better already than I did with the band. My port drove me crazy and it caused a lot of other issues. If youd like to avoid a 2nd surgery later, I highly suggest the sleeve after having it for some many years and meeting tona of people who have revised or havent but plan too. Good luck!

I finally joined this website again cause I saw there are some girls around my age' date=' FINALLY :) lol

I had my VSG on June 11, 2010 by Dr. Alvarez. I have lost 200 pounds and let me say it feels AMAZING!

I had just turned 18 a month prior to having my surgery, and a lot of people called me crazy. Now they tell me that it's the best thing I could have done for myself and I agree.

I would love to chat with you ladies, feel free to contact me. Any questions, concerns, or if you just wanna chat let me know :)[/quote']

Im 17 going on 18 in 11 months x,.., x how did you stand the waiting? It feels like forever to me

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
