Oh, boy. I just got the call from my surgeon's insurance coordinator. My health insurance has approved the surgery! It looks like I'm definitely on for 2/22. I have my PAT on Friday. My after surgery prescriptions have already been called in and are ready for pickup...as soon as I get paid on Friday. Oy. The big day seems so much realer now!

Hey guys I had VSG on 2/06/12, I am on another forum, but wanted to also hit this one up from time to time. Mine went so well, no complications, first night in ICU because my doc wanted to monitor me, but after that when I was finally allowed I progressed extremely fast. Well I lost about 20 lbs in the hospital and day 7 went home (stayed longer because I live out of country) put on some pureed and now soft foods, as soon as those hit my lips the weight loss stopped. I have read a lot of people who stalled week 2 or 3, but it is frustrating, 6 days now eating 800 calories and getting all my Protein and Water and not one ounce dropped, heck I think my scale just said I went up in weight. I know its natural but its messing with my head. Anyway whats up name is Ken!

For me I have to watch carbs BIGTIME. My PcP prescribed me metformin and a higher dose of HRT and synthroid 200mcg ;) good looking out doc. I love my new age doc. It takes me 3 days to get into ketosis. In ketosis I see the most burn. I lost a little over 20lbs as of today just messing around with ketosis

Oh Yeah! we're almost sisters. I'll be there alone so I'm sure I'll be sleeping on the 27th and then plan to check on you after your surgery. Can I buy you a drink? I hear they have some awesome broth.... lol

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
