Hi there,
I’m meeting the surgeon for the first time tomorrow. I went through Beaumont weight control center. Finished my 6 months requirements. Had blood work done and an EKG. This will be the group meeting followed by individual meeting.
What should I expect? Is this just protocol or is he going to ask for more tests or requirements?
I’m just really hoping to get my surgery date soon because I’m a teacher and would love to take advantage of y summer break while on full liquids and puréed foods.
Thanks for your input!!

It all depends on the individual and the surgeon.

Be a good listener. Ask your surgeon all your worrying questions.

Hi there!
I just had my vsg on 8/3 late in the day because I was delayed 3 hours. The surgery went well he saw a hernia that he fixed (we didn’t know it was there)
They sent me home the next day at 3pm. I’ve been having a hard time keeping anything down. The hospital called and said if I feel signs to dehydration I should contact the weight control center I went through.
Good luck to you! Every day it gets a tad bit easier!
