Hello all!

I am having a vsg October 9th with Dr. Garcia at the Florence Hospital. I am super excited but very nervous. For those of you that had surgery with Dr. Garcia any suggestions? Does anyone know if the hospital has wifi?

I was just sleeved by him on Thursday, October 2nd. The experience was wonderful! Everyone was great. I'm healing good and feel good.

Yes, there was wifi!! Take a couple of face towels with you.... Odd but the hospital didn't have them. Not sure if they were out or just don't provide them. You'll need them to wash up with the days after surgery.

You will be in very good hands! The first few hours after surgery I felt like crap, but then started moving around and it passed quickly. Just don't psych yourself out, I have a bad habit of doing that. Just remember what you are there for, take a deep breath, say a prayer, and think about the rest of your life. :)

It could not have gone better. My only regret about my surgery is that I waited so long to do it!!

It went great! They take such great care of you at Florence Hospital during and after. I must say the first night was a total nightmare but the following days were alright. I'm feeling good just miss food so much haha. I would choose Dr. Garcia all over again if I had to. His team was amazing!

Gas pains are horrible! As sleepy and tired as I was I made myself get up to walk because that was the only thing that helped the gas pain. I was also very nauseous so I spent the whole night gagging cause I wouldn't actually throw up. You just have to keep calm. The next morning at 6am I felt as normal as can be. Still a little bit of gas pain but walking helped. I must add that Dr. Garcia's team came every hour or two and would give me medicine to ease the gas pain.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
