Recommended Posts

Wendy, good luck tomorrow. I'm sure you will be find after the first couple of days. Just remember to look at the goal. It's only temporary. I start mine next Monday. When is your surgery date?

Hi Robin, my surgery is scheduled for July 5th. I just woke up about an hour ago and am drinking my decaff coffee w/ skim milk.... I'm sooooooo sleepy, my 2 1/2 yr old kept me up last night being cranky and crying.... what I wouldn't do for some caffeine right now! UGGHHHH! :blink:

Thanks for the well wishes, I'm sure I'll get through it, I know I can do it and will be a better person because of it. I'm going to make myself some home made chicken broth later, it's so much better than the stuff in the can! That will help, I'm sure!

Talk to you later!

Wendy

I'll be your 'sleeve sister':). I'm going in for surgery on Wednesday, July 6th, with Dr. Barker in Dallas. I just found out about vsg in May and I knew immediately it was for me. So, I am moving forward pretty fast. I start my liquid diet on July 2nd. In the past, I have responded well to surgery and I don't have any other health issues (that I know about) so I am planning to be back at work on Monday after surgery. I have an office job and work from home some days too - so I don't plan on this keeping me down long (does that sound like someone who doesn't know what's ahead - or just positive thinking???:). You'll be a couple days ahead of me, so you'll have to prepare me...I have spent hours on YouTube reviewing vsg testimonials. There are alot who have successfully used Dr. Alvarez. You are in good hands!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
