I'm new, too!

2 classes out of the required 10 down, and meeting with the surgeon in October. I'm so certain this is what I want to do, but I'm afraid something will pop up to derail my plans. I'm thankful to have found this community that I can learn and gain support from.

There's only so much the classes can prepare me for.

Welcome Newbies!😁

I just had my VSG surgery July 26th. So far, I am very pleased with my surgery. I believe it was the right decision for me.

This community is a wonderful resource, & is filled with many caring & supportive individuals. There are knowledgeable veterans that give informative & truthful advice, information, & tips.

Before my surgery, I also looked at YouTube videos of people that experienced WLS. There are many of them, and some from doctors, too.

Good luck to you all on your path to a healthier you! We look forward to hearing more about your experience!

        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!!
