Hi all!! I am new here. I'm from Mississippi and will be having my VSG in ocean springs. Had the initial meeting 2 months ago and meeting with my surgeon on June 12. Hopefully having my surgery the 1st week of July. I have yo-yoed my entire life and am sick of it. Very excited and extremely nervous (not very good with pain lol.).

Good luck with your journey!! I just had my surgery a week ago & couldn't be happier with my decision! Feel free to check out my blog (listed in my signature) if you'd like.

Welcome! Whatever pain there is is worth getting the weight off. Actually with mine seemed the pain was more incision related than anything else. They will give you pain medication, they want you as pain free as possible since pain inhibits healing and causes an inflamatory response in the body.

Welcome and best wishes!!!

Welcome - and how exciting to be starting your journey. I get sleeved on Wednesday - glad to have another join us!!

I'm so ready to get the weight off. Starting a complete new chapter....I'm moving to California and starting a new job soon. New body...new life

Where are you moving from? And where in California? I live in Dallas, Texas now - but I'm from Northern California

Welcome. Best o wishes.

Which Dr. will be performing your surgery. Dr. Avera will be doing my sleeve next Tuesday. What part of MS are you from. I'm in Lucedale.

I'm in Hattiesburg now. I cannot remember the drs name. He's at south Mississippi surgical thought. I will be moving to Santa Barbara.

Good luck to you.

Thanx Dina. U 2. I'm so ready to get it done
