Just got my VSG done



Recommended Posts

I just got mine done yesterday morning (7/8/21). I was nervous and scared but results came out pretty good. I really don't have pain at all, scale from 1-10 I would say 1-2. I will be discharged from hospital today. Hopefully everything will be fine in long-term.

Doctor used DaVinci robotic assisted to do my surgery.

Congrats! I'm a Texan whose doctor also used the DaVinci! My recovery as far as the surgery itself was very quick!

Wow, quite a few people in the Dallas area!!! I had my surgery in early June and I am very happy with my decision so far. I missed the zoom support group meeting last month at Baylor Frisco but hope to make the next one.

        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!!
