My surgeon takes 25-30 minutes to complete the procedure. You are likely under sedation for 10-15 minutes longer.

Thank you all for responding. I was hoping and grateful that I found support with this group. I’m nervous, but anxious to get this tool. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Oh I’m going to Mexico too. I was just wondering where you were going.

I’m not sure I answered. Oasis of Hope. Www.longtermvsg.com

Heya everyone! I'm scheduled for surgery June 26th! Seems so close now, especially considering I began the process in February...of 2021. My daughter is my main motivation for getting the surgery. She is 10 and non-verbal autistic. She'll likely never be able to live independently, so I want to make sure I do everything I can to take care of her as long as possible.

I mean, being able to shop in the regular women's section, and fit on rollercoaster and airplane seats will also be nice. But my little girl is my world, and it breaks my heart to think that someday I'll die, and she might not understand what happened, or where I've gone... so I'm doing all I can to make sure that day is a long, long time away.

This is an older picture of her, but one of my favorites, because it really shows her personality. Such a happy kid.

Hi everyone, hope you all are doing well.

I had my pre op appt and lab work yesterday, insurance approval letter arrived yesterday as well! I have to get my COVID test tomorrow and then self quarantine till surgery.

Looks like everything is a go for 6/6/22, My surgery is at 7:30 am PST. I'm surprisingly not nervous or having anxiety about the surgery itself. My anxiety is due to after the procedure.

I've done better than I expected myself to do on the full liquid diet, down 12 Lbs down in 11 days. I have to switch to clear liquids on Sunday with drinking 28 oz of Gatorade before bedtime and then 24 oz of Gatorade before 5:30 am the day of.

I'm so excited for all of us and to hear about everyone's journey after surgery.

What were your pre op labs ? They just told me and EKG and Chest xray and labs. But didn’t say what specific labs. I’m just curious

It’s good but it’s not “authentic”. It won’t stop the urge for coffee.

amazon has a pumpkin spice flavor and Walmart.com for a limited time has root beer float!

I saw that Walmart has root beer float. I’m going to order it.

I’m not trying to stop the coffee urge, but coffee ice cream is my favorite flavor so I just like that flavor.

Months ago, my surgeon ordered 18 different blood labs, an H Pylori test, barium swallow, chest X-ray, abdominal u/s, EKG, Stress test with echo cardio gram. Oh, and urine specimen.
Yesterday at pre-anesthesia testing I had blood type and Rh screen and antibody screen, and blood drawn for potassium and sodium levels.
My surgery is next Wednesday, June 8.
If you want, I can list the specific labs.
