Hi everyone....I just registered here so I hope I'm asking my question in the correct area. I am scheduled for surgery in 3 weeks and just found out that I will be needing an ultrasound (gyn issue unrelated to the VSG) and gyn exam. I don't know if I will be able to take yet another day off from work before my surgery and am wondering if anyone would have any idea of when my abdominal area would be healed enough to be able to endure the pressing that they do when they do the ultrasound. I'm afraid to ask the surgeon....I've had so many problems with scheduling the VSG (long, long story) that I'm afraid he will tell me to postpone it. Thank you.

You are having a pelvic ultrasound? Different area -- lower than your surgery area which is above the waistline.

I had a pelvic ultrasound about a month after my VSG surgery. No problems.

Good luck!

Yes, it would be a pelvic ultrasound. Thanks so much Cindy, for that info.

Schedule a gny appointment after work. What about a Sat? I would have this done before I had VSG. If you explain the situation to your gyno they may make you an appointment after their normal hours. It doesn't hurt to speak up.
