Had my surgery on August 10th. Good luck to everyone. I had an excellent experience, just trying to get through this first week. So happy I made the decision to have the surgery.

Tomorrow is my day... Have to be at the surgery center at 7am.... Sooooo scared and excited

I'm praying. Easier said than done, but try to embrace your new you. Try not to focus on the negatives.

My VSG was Tuesday August 18, 2015. I cam home on Wednesday afternoon. Today is my first full day at home. I am focusing on walking, Vitamins, Protein and Water.

I am not doing well getting more than 4 oz in an hour. I am getting full.

Gas X strips are a big help.

I had my surgery on 8-19-15 so yesterday and I was released same day... I'm very tired I've had 2 Popsicles and only drinking about 20 or so oz's... I heard the 3 day is the worst and than you feel much better... I have one hole that they pulled my stomach out of that hurts pretty bad.. I also can't talk loud or take really deep breathes cuz it hurts?!

My tentative date is August 5th. The nurse said on Tuesday(July 8th) evening that she will be sending in my paper work to the insurance. I have no idea if she did yet. I did all my pre op testing (sleep study,blood work, all the doctors etc).

If anyone is interested there is a August Facebook group....https://www.facebook.com/groups/AugustGastricSleeveBuddies/

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
