Hello everyone i'm 27 years old and i had my VSG on the 19th of July and as of tomorrow it will be 3 weeks post op for me. I have lost a total of 18.5 pounds up to now but there's a wild twist to my story that might shock some of you. I found out around a week or so after my VSG since my period was late and i read about many of the girls here have had problems with your periods post op, i decided to go ahead and have one of them home pregnancy tests and oddly enough it came out positive!!!I've been married for about 18 months now and to tell you all the truth we didn't really plan on concieving until at least a year post op. This is my first pregnancy and I have no complaints other than i was a little terrified at first because i figured out that i concieved around a week before my VSG so i went to my gynecologist and he assured me that everything will be fine and the baby would not have been affected by the general anesthesia. i will keep you all posted as i go through my journey :svengo: :(

i'm six weeks post op now and i feel aweful!!!i'm constantly tired and dizzy. I began vomitting two days ago and my stomach hurts whenever i eat anything, actually it hurts regardless whether i eat or not. I discussed this problem with my doctor(VSG doc)and he prescribed something to slow down the acids in my stomach, but when i went to my gynacologist he prohibited me from taking ANY drugs of such nature. So, i'm pretty much stuck between a rock and a hard place :001_tt2: my gynacologist said i can only continue to take my Vitamins.< /p>

Basbosa,

I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Have your surgeon and gynecologist been able to talk to come up with a plan together? I pray the best for you.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
