I'm officially part of this vsg life. I am super happy. The pain the first few hours was excruciating!!!! The feeling of the gas in my shoulders was the worse. Now I have to learn to depend on my arms and legs for lifting my body. After some rest I was up and walking the same day. I can feel the change already, I literally became nauseous after 2 spoons of ice chips. I had my swallow test this morning and passed. At this moment I'm having some vegetable broth but after a few spoonfuls I'm no longer hungry. This is gonna be such an awesome change in my life. Any other new sleevers? How was your experience?

Congrats and welcome to the club!

Congrats and welcome to the club!

Thanks so much. How long have you been sleeved?

I was also sleeved on the 19th. I haven't gotten my leak test done yet and I'm a little nervous to drink the blue stuff. I haven't gotten to drink anything yet so I hope it doesn't hurt so swallow it. I will can't believe I finely had the surgery, it's been over a year when I started this process. Good luck on your recovery. Keep up up to date on how holy are feeling.

Thank you. Yes it moves extremely fast once insurance approves it. I got approved January 14th my surgery was originally scheduled for February 4th but my surgeon postponed it after finding a hiatal hernia in my stomach. I'm so grateful that its done now. Weight loss on the way. I lost 20 lbs preop so I can't wait to see the results. I'm so happy for you!! It'll be here before you know it.

That drink is horrible!!!!!! Lol swallowing isn't too bad as long as you sip slowly. Gulping will bring air in. I was scared myself but when I finally committed it took only 2 months from beginning to end.

Congrats!!!!!

• That's awesome news! Good to hear you're doing well and making the necessary changes in your life. Keep us posted. I'm in day 2 of my 7 day pre-op diet..not too bad.
  

Glad it all went well! Congratulations!
