Hi everyone! i'm brand new to this site. As of today, my vsg is officially booked for july 20!!!!! so nervous and excited. i have chosen not to tell many people aside from immediate family and one close friend. i'm not ashamed its just a private matter and i think its a big enough surgery and emotional/physcial roller coaster I don't want nay negative comments etc.

Surgery buddies! ❤️❤️❤️

Hello Everyone!

This is my first ever post. I am scheduled for vertical sleeve gastrectomy on July 23rd of this year. I start my pre op July 7th. I am paying most out of pocket so I have not been ordered to lose weight. I am however trying to eat better and exercise now to start building healthy routines. I am trying to get organized and prepared for everything by making some lists. What are you all doing to prepare?

Well just came from seeing the surgeon on my pro op visit and all is still a go he was fine with my 10 pound gain n said we are still going for July 7. Yeah I’m very excited and really nervous all at the same time. This kinda feels like my first time going to Universal Orlando for Halloween Horror Nights ya know scary n exciting and nerve racking all at the same time. Lol

Such good news to hear. Hope my surgeon says the same thing! Hahaha

Well I started my pro op diet about 2 weeks early. Of course I am not a strict as I will be when they real pre op diet starts next week, but I have already lost about 5 pounds.

I found out Friday that my date is July 15. It feels like things just got real as I had to do 6 months with a nutritionist and I’ve kind of been putting it out of my mind. Now it’s real and a little scary and a lot exciting!

      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!!
