im due at the hospital at 6am..im the first surgery..

Good Luck and God Bless to all of you!! it's almost more exciting than we can stand, huh? Please let us know how you are all doing, and WELCOME TO THE VSG FAMILY!!!!!

24 hours out! Feeling better than i did yesterday. I have only tried water and ice chips so far and they make me feel extremely full, so im scared to try more. Gas pain was what everyone said it was horrible. But walking and gas x strips seem to be doing the trick. Just waiting in the doc to come see me and I should go home today. My doc doesn't do any external kind of leak test. Is that normal?

The first couple of days home, my doc told me that the main thing was hydration. After that work on your protein....just remember that dehydration will land you back in the hospital quickly. Huggggggggs!

Came home yesterday. Gas pains are horrible. Been using gas x strips as of today which has helped. But sounds like a ping pong match is going on in my abdomen with gas bubbles. Trying to drink which is hard with the gas pain. So I'm getting cramps in my arms. I'm just hoping this all passes soon.

Good luck & blessings to you, mine is at noon, I think I'm the last person on my Doc's List!! LOL But that's ok I'm just glad the day is here!!

Good luck to all this weeks "sleevers"...I wish you all the best and hope i hear something soon about mine... Hugs, Sandy
