I started VSG journey in July 2016 (the shortest prep I have ever heard of). I weighed at my highest ever at 272lbs.

The journey started due to complications with my lapband (I had lapband done on March 2012). I started to get frequent aspiration pneumonia.

Fast forward to the VSG journey. My surgeon and I discussed revision from band to sleeve. Had endoscopy done August 11, 2016 and was approved by insurance for surgery date September 28, 2016.

I'm now day 3 post-op and this app has helped with so many questions I had. One fear was not being able to poop!!! Yes I said POOP! Well it's day 3 and I had a BM.

Gas pain was getting relieved slowly but I think this is a victory with so little liquid intake I've been having.

Guess the little happy poop faces won't show on here. Funny that you wrote about this, that was one of last nights Google searches--- vsg constipation. Freaks me out when people say they don't go for days. I'm so regular I fear that when I ever do get sleeved. Truth be told I fear the gas pain. I know it's not the same as intestinal but gas pain is gas pain. I have had it so bad that I have stayed up all night, affected sciatica, made me throw up, yes, just gas pain. Keep us updated of how you are doing.

Did you guys cleanse your system before surgery?
