Hello there. I am super new, having just had surgery last week. I'm back at work this week and feeling pretty good. I'm glad to see other petites here.

Wow! Back to work already. How are you feeling? I got my surgery date today, November 12. I'm a little scared.

Yup. Back to work, 5 days from surgery. My doctor doesn't coddle his patients. Today is my 2nd day back at work and I have 5 straight hours of back to back night class tonight. I'm feeling pretty good right now but I'll probably be tired before the evening is done. The tough part will be going 8 hours without anything to drink. Once you get into the university its hard to navigate to access where you can get something to drink other than carbonated cans.

I was a lot scared before surgery, but everything turned out better than OK. Serious complications are rare, though they do happen. Most people who have vsg don't have a lot of problems. I was surprised to hear about people in these forums taking off so long for work and complaining about food. I would guess that the vast majority don't have many or any problems at all.
