Finally, Approved And Have A Date With Vsg!



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone!!!

I finally received my approval letter for the VSG and my tentative surgery date is MAY 1, 2012!! I've gone through just about all the emotions thus far. I'm supposed to start my pre-op liquid diet next week after I see my NUT on the 13th and I'm terrified!! I've read a lot of blogs about what others are doing to get through. Does Bougie size really matter??? Just asking that everyone keep me lifted in prayers! Best wishes to those who are about to have the surgery as well as those recovering!! A SPEEDY RECOVERY to you all. I am open to ANY SUGGESTIONS. I'm also vlogging my journey on Youtube: I'm jmcbribe - feel free to follow my process!! Thanks for the support you all!

And I quote you: "I've gone through just about all the emotions thus far." Now you get to go through all of them again and more intensely than before now that you can attach a final date...a "point of no return." :wacko: Stick to your guns. The road is not a smooth one but it has been well-traveled by thousands before you. The most important thing you can have is a positive attitude. I'm one week post-op and looking forward to my new future without any regrets. Best of luck and my hearfelt wishes for a smooth procedure and speedy recovery.

How exciting... my time rushed past me so fast, I was overwhelmed I think... that "feeling the emotions again" perhaps? Congrats to you. I wish you a great surgery, fabulous and easy recovery and all of the positivity that your soul can hold. Best of luck to you.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
