Good luck! Best wishes to you.

Thank you! So excited!!

Hope all went well!

my surgery went well. the night was pretty good too. cant wait for all the tubes to come out and get home. able to keep water down and took all night to eat a sugar free jello- all night! lol

cant wait to see where this journey takes me.

Congrats. I'm having my surgery Dec 19, and to be honest I'm scared to the point of second guessing my decision. I know everyone responds differently but would you mind sharing your feelings once you got out of surgery and how you felt the first 24 hours. Thank you.

Hi - So I was sleeved this past Friday and stayed overnight. The night wasn't bad, but the drugs they game me really knocked me out. friday I remember them giving me tiny little cups of Water, I kept it down....onto Bari2 which was broth and Jello, tiny little bites and slow is the key. Saturday I was still a bit groggy, did well with pain. started on bari3 - instant Breakfast drink 4oz and will remain on Bari 3 for two weeks, alternating every hour between 4oz instant breakfast, 4oz clear liquid. Now it is Sunday, last night was terrible in my own bed, but did sleep some. Today I want to just be vertical as much as I can.

In regards to second guessing - I was dealing with this for the past two years. But then I found this program I am in now and it is wonderful. Very supportive.I know I made the right decision. I am looking forward to working out without pain, walking without pain, and running around with my four year old. Hope this helps! Good luck with everything!!!

Thank you for your reply. I was originally scheduled for Bypass but my surgeon stated I could have either procedure. I like the concept of vertical sleeve more than the bypass but I'm a bit nervous that my surgeon does far more bypasses than sleeves. I have heard great comments about my surgeon and his group, just worried he does not do VSG more often.

Good luck to you, it seems like your off to a great start

Congrats and best of luck
