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.

Height: 5'7

Weight: 238

Age: 41

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
