Excited and thankful!!



Recommended Posts

Hi all! I'm excited to join the VSG forum! I've been reading posts on here as a guest for the past couple weeks and am so thankful to have so many people share their experiences with their sleeve. It has reassured me I'm making the right decision and your stories have inspired me!

I'm hoping to learn as much as possible before having the sleeve done myself. I'm at the end of jumping through the insurance hoops and my paper work should be sent in next week and then the waiting game will begin. Hope it doesn't take to long to hear back from my insurance. I'm eager to get a date set!

Welcome ! I just had my sleeve 5 days ago and the insurance jump hoop game is so fresh in my mind. I will never forget the feeling when I fulfilled last requirement, once I had that clearance in my hand I felt like a I won a million bucks!

Welcome to the board. My surgery is a week from tomorrow. I don't think I would have opted to go through with the surgery without reading all the posts on here. Yes, it will definately be a struggle at first, but so many people are so happy that they had this surgery. That is what I am looking forward to--feeling good and being glad I did this.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
