NEED A VLS BUDDY



Recommended Posts

Hi I am 11 weeks out. I started at 245 and now I am 207. I think I am the only person in southern WV that has had VSG. My surgeons office is 2 hours away. They have a support group but I am too far away to attend. I really need a VLS buddy that I can swap emails with....

Any Takers?

Hi LUCYCAT, I would love to be a sleeve buddy. There's a support group close to me once a month, but I have no transportation in the evening when the meetings are held! I'm new to this site. I read more & more posts everyday. I had my sleeve done Oct.26th,2011, so I'm only 2 weeks into my journey....

Hi Everyone -

I would love to be your buddy too. I'm new to the site as well. I had my surgery on Monday, November 7th. I feel like a truck has run me over. I can't get down all of the shakes and I'm hoping I did the right thing!

Would love to chat with you!

Hey all, I am almost 5 months out and if I can assist or answer your questions in any way, please feel free to send me a message. Hover over my name and something should pop up where you can send me a message. This is a time of vast changes for our bodies, for sure.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
