I have a tentative VGS surgery date of December 14th. Anyone else scheduled for December yet? Lots of questions to come, I’m sure, but also looking for people to go through this together.

I was done around 9am. My surgery was outpatient... gas pain was okay.. walked a lot..my stomach is numb now. I am home on my couch. That k you all for prayers

What’s vgs?

For the undecided bypass by all means?

Me!! December 17th!

I’m Dec 17th also!

My surgery was yesterday. Super super super nauseous last night. Vomiting blood. Ended up calling my surgeon because I couldn’t even hold down a tsp of water....seriously I thought I was dying. Finally got nauseous medicine to stay down and slept for 6 hours.

Currently trying to eat a popsicle, but even that is tough.

Incision/belly doesn’t hurt so bad today. It’s just the nausea.

Day 3 of my liquid diet. It’s been rough I felt so hungry. I ate a chicken breast. Hopefully I’d do better tomorrow.

I am on day 1 and honestly it wasn’t bad , I drink “pure protein” brand shakes(Trader Joe’s)and they really kill any hunger pangs . 3 shakes in the day and a piece of fish and broccoli at night with some diet jello . My dr wants me to do all liquid but I know plenty of people who have done no pre op diet and done just fine .

Just found out today that my surgery is scheduled for December 27th. I start the pre-op high protein diet on the 13th. Exciting and a bit scary all at once. Exciting for all the possibilities and scary because I want to succeed and not become a negative statistic. I know two people who were not successful and want to learn from their mistakes. Cognitively I know I have the capability to rock this however emotionally I am a bit shakier.

Anjo- why were they not successful? I like to hear what not to do as much as what to do.

I’m having surgery on December 13th.

I have sleeve surgery on Dec 13th. I’m really nervous.

I go Wednesday for my nutrition class and pre op session. I have started my pre op diet. My surgery will be Thursday. I’m excited to get started, but nervous eat the same time.

I heard smelling alcohol wipes helps, so I tried it, it really worked, why won't you try'em too, wish u a speedy recovery.

Mine got moved up to the 14th due to a cancellation. I’m kind of freaking out. It wasn’t supposed to be until after Christmas. I’m not prepared but I can’t even think what I need to do! What have you done in preparation?
