I am new to this site! I have been searching for a site where I can asked questions, read other people's thoughts etc. I am 11 days post op of my VSG surgery. I went in on Friday December 9, 2011 and was discharged on Sunday 12/11/11. I had a minor complication, I failed my swallow study on Saturday, was then restricted to 1-2 oz of Water every hour for a week due to the fact that there was no blockage, but the barium didn't past right away. On Sunday night, Monday AM i couldn't hold anyting down- was vomitting saliva, water, pain meds. I called my surgeron ASAP that AM and was told to come in right away- he did an Upper GI to make sure there was not a blockage. When he was in there was no blockage, but decided to dilate my stomach to 12mm. I felt soo much better after that! After that I was put onto liquid diet.

I followed up with my surgeon on Thursday and was put on pureed diet. I am down 26lbs since the start of my 2 week pre-op liquid diet- and since my surger lost 6 pounds.

I am very excited on my new lease on life- as I feel. I'm ready to explore new things with my 5yr old that I didn't want to do before because I always felt judged.

Thanks for reading and I look forward to sharing/talking with all of you throughout our journeys!!!!
