My surgery is on June 5th. I pray that this is the right decision and that I will be healthier. For me it was between this surgery or heart surgery so the choice was clear. I am excited and scared at the same time.

We are getting the same surgery on the same day!

Yes, I know, I saw your answer earlier. I will be at mayo Clinic in Florida. Where are you getting the surgery? I think we should keep in contact.

Hi! Im new to this site and in much needed support from others going through the same thing! My VSG surgery is scheduled for June 27th and they have had me on a diet of Protein Shakes twice a day with a light meal at lunch for over a month to lose weight before the pre-op diet. It has been rough! Im starting to question if this is a good idea, especially as I still have to take care of my family (cook meals, shop, meal plan). How is everyone else dealing with the difference in what they are doing versus their family? I can’t wait for the surgery to get to the next part.

Hey! I have my surgery June 5. I understand the frustration you are dealing with cooking for the family, going grocery shopping etc. but I have a feeling this is the right decision for you. Something brought you to this point and maybe you just need a reminder of it. For me it’s my kids. I want to travel on an airplane with them, I want to chase them up the stairs with out hurting, I want to ride bikes and jump on a trampoline with them. When I start to have doubts or frustration I remind my self the kids are more important than Oreo Cookies and brownies. Is your family able to create a menu, do the shopping for a bit while you get over the hump? I think you will be glad you did this. Hang in there you got it!!

        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!!
