Hi VSG family,:crying:

I have decided to go with the new procedure (TGVP)due to fear of complications. I'm a single parent with a 3 year old and I'm to afraid of having leaks. I read post from Tiffany as well as Donna concerning complications. I'm not willing to take that risk. I'm planning to have surgery with Dr. Jose Rodriguz.

Ms Lisa

I've lost 32 lbs. and feel great. I can eat anything except sweets. They make me nauseated. I eat about 25% or less of what I did before. I do have reflux but I had that before the surgery.

Ms. Lisa in the upper left hand side of this message box it says my name MP8BTPC. There should be a funny little icon next to my name. Left click on it and it will let you choose from a drop down box to send me a private message. When someone responds back a pop up alert will come on screen telling you that you have a private message and asking you if you want to open it. If you are logged off it will pop up the next time you log on. You can access your in/out box at any time by using the link at the very top of the webpage under you log in name that says YOUR NOTIFICATIONS. Drop that down and you can choose unread private messages and look through your inbox. From that screen you can click over to outbox and see what you have writtten. I will send you a message to help ya out

ok I see thank you very much I apreciate it ya I thought that everyone would be getting sick of me by reading my same questions over and over,

Thanks again

Lisa

Lol it just hit me that you seemed like you were treading water and not getting anywhere

Good luck to you. I too am a single parent with three kids, having been widowed three years ago. I was very concerned about the risk of complications and the fact that if anything went wrong, my children could be left without any parents. Fortunately, I did not have any complications and here I am just two months later and down just about 70 lbs. Keep researching all your options and I am sure you'll find the right procedure for you.
