Hello! has anybody heard of Long term vsg?? They have the gastric sleeve surgery for $2999. It just sounds too good to be true. Please let me know!

thank you!

Wow these great reviews is making me rethink my choice as well, I couldn't find much on my Dr, but all I did find was good, so it was making me a bit uneasy. I've already put paid $250 to hold my date, (June 8th) but they said that i could change my mind.

By the way @@krazypisces.momma and @@Chrissyg congratulations!! Way to go you guys! What a great start! May I ask krazypisces.momma what your start weight and goal weight was/is? At any rate, it's awesome!! Your hard work is paying off!!!

My hw 240, day of surgery was 233, now I am 209

I wow, you sound exactly like me! Way to go girl!!!

I'm getting sleeved with them also next month. I wish I could schedule same day as you ladies so I won't be alone lol

Yes ma'am I did. I left early Wednesday (I live close to the border, 2 1/2 hours close) had surgery Wednesday evening and then drove myself home from the border. I had zero complications and I am very pleased with my results.

What type of foods are you eating now? Are the gas pains gone? TIA

Is anyone going May 11?

Honestly I didn't have much gas pains. I stayed on water only for 2 days post op though. It was my choice to do so. I didn't feel hungry and water worked for me.

I have bloating issues but I have had them since way before I had my surgery. I am Hashimoto's Hypothyroid and bloating, constipation and other gut issues are a norm for me. As far as gas, I get it on occasion but feel it is due to my hypo.

As for food.....I am slowly introducing solids to my diet but only at night. I have a protein shake for lunch and breakfast and some type of solid soft food at night at home that way if my body doesn't like it I am where I need to be to deal with it. Protein drinks are a huge staple for me. Getting enough protein is pertinent and with just 2 a day, I am getting 86 grams of protein.

. hey Chrissy, just wondering how you are doing? I'm thinking if switching to this clinic since I can't find many reviews on the Dr I have now. How is it going now that u are a few weeks out? Im a bit nervous about being lonely, (only one not eating etc) regretting etc afterward, I hear that can happen, though I know in the long run its going to be great! It's going to be a whole new relationship with food and I so need that!

Thanks ChrissyG!

@@cmhueto, I know you didn't ask me, but I am 4 weeks out as of tomorrow. I have gone out with friends/family twice in that time and I don't feel alone. I am still with my loved ones, having a good time, just eating less and not feeling guilty when I go home about over eating! It's amazing so far! I am still only eating soft foods so I only eat soup when I'm out

Wow, that's awesome!! I guessed it was my way if asking how you were doing! Thanks for sharing!!! Keep us updated! Your doing great!
