Hey peeps,

This is my first time here and I am excited to announce that my wife and I are both having the VSG on November 8th!

We are having it in Columbia, Mo with Dr. Nicole Spencer. We are both beyond excited for our new outlook on life!

I’m right with you. I cannot wait to start purée on Tuesday. I’m so tired of liquids. I took a 1 mile walk today and had still have shoulder pain. Does the gas cause pain 2 weeks out? I lost 16 in pre-op and 6 since surgery on 11/9. Hope everyone is feeling well.

Hello, had my surgery on November 15th and have lost 17lbs since preop. The day after surgery they had me doing stage 1 and 2. What are all the things you have found that are working for you guys and what hasn’t helped? What foods do you like? My taste has changed drastically

It might just be the gas from surgery. Walking helps. If you feel like your heart rhythm is abnormal, you probably should go to your dr or urgent care so they can listen. The surgery sent my heart into an abnormal rhythm and I ended up having to stay over a week while they figured out what drugs to use to slow it down. Hope you’re okay.

I had nothing with my heart. Those are some scary symptoms. I would already be at the ER.

Unfortunately my surgery had to be postponed yet again. Now the new date is Nov 30th. Hope this will be the last time and I can be done this the surgery this time around *cross my fingers*

I'm also scheduled for the 30th. I'm extremists nervous because of occasional slip ups with my occasional " I just have to taste that"

Makes me nervous like I said

So my surgery is Wednesday, however my EKG came bake abnormal!!! Lots of test today and tomorrow. I will find out if I can even have my surgery. I'm praying my heart is ok.

I just had my sleeve done on Nov. 17. Starting my new life!

Had Gastric sleeve done Nov. 16. Getting a really bad pain right below my sternum. Lost 17 lbs so far. Starting pureed tomorrow.

Hi! I had a RNY on the 18th. Feeling good now! Lost 3.5kg.

Thank you congratulations to you as well. I was 255 preop and am now 237.I don't start pureed until tomorrow. Today I had some light and fit yougart. 4 Oz of chicken broth and 4 ounces of a protein shake. That is pretty much everything I have had daily except more of it since Friday.No it feels like a pain that come on strong takes my breath away and leaves just as quickly.
