Sorry You Had VSG? (For those 6 months out and longer)



Recommended Posts

I'm considering revision from band to sleeve. Please let me know if the more difficult recovery is worth it. Thanks!

Never regretted it for a single moment.

The first weeks, even the first 3 months were "hard" but oh so worth it.

I love my life as a sleever!

I'm only 12 days post op, but life SUCKS right now. I was completely unprepared for how difficult the recovery was going to be. I wouldn't go so far as to say I regret it, but I've had my moments.

I have my 6 mo follow up appt next week (4-30 will be my 6 mo date). I don't regret it for one second. Even the first few days (which sucked)...I knew I was in it for the long haul with this amazing gift I have been given. Each day I remind myself why I had the surgery and how luck I am to have a new chance at a healthy life.

I regretted it for about 2 minutes waking up in my hospital room but then quickly decided that there was nothing I could do to change my surgery....So I began to live it.....I loved my morphine drip because I didn't feel a thing.... :) It was rough the first 2 weeks especially when I went to lunch with my family and they didn't have my veggie beef Soup that was so delicious and I couldn't find anything else that I wanted. My son and his girlfriend got a really delicious plate of food that smelled so good.....But overall, I love my sleeve and the positive side affect of being skinny. :)

      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!
