Hi there ASHLEIGH77. I had my ESG on February 6. The procedure was virtually painless, absolutely no complications. It is definitely a procedure that does help you feel full sooner but you will not see the same results as the traditional gastric sleeve. It depends on how much you want to lose. I had about 40-50 pounds to lose so to me it made sense not to do anything too invasive. I've lost about 12-13 pounds since my ESG and it comes off slowly but you do learn better eating behaviors that you can sustain. I hope I helped shed some light but you can ask whatever you want and I'll do my best to answer more specific questions. Good luck with whatever you decide!

You should be. Keep that excitement and motivation. God willing you will have a speedy recovery, just as the majority of us did after our esg, and great weight loss success.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
