New and still doing research about VSG



Recommended Posts

Hello, I am researching about the VSG. I have to go to my surgery information seminar this August 10. I will be getting my surgery in a military facility . How many of you had this surgery on a military facility? Also

I still confused about if RYN will be my option or VSG. But I am more towards the VSG. My BMI is 37,but I have many health problems now. Including GERD,PCOS,fatty liver ,Insulin resistant among others. I would

like to read how this surgery helped you with one of these conditions ,if you have one of these? Thanks!

Hi Liliana and welcome. You may want to look over some of Tiffykins posts as she had her VSG at a military facility.

There's a thread here on sleeve vs bypass which may be of interest http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/18102-sleeve-vs-bypass/

Most people use a PPI for GERD and hopefully others can contribute on that front as I've never suffered from that.

        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!!
