    Wait Times For Vsg?

    I know there's a program in Edmonton too. They are both different. With red deer you need to go to monthly weigh ins on top of all the test they do. You are required to loose 10% and keep a food journal that they check. Wait time varies on how you do.

    Do I Have A Leak Or Gas

    Mine lasted about a week. It was awful. I switch between hot water bottle and bag of peas. Gas x strips also helped a little.

    Gas Pain

    I'm now 8 days post op and it takes me all day to get a water bottle size of protein shake in. The gas pain stated getting better about day 5-6. And I had my first bm day 6 and has since turned into diarrhea. Here at my clinic were on clear fluids for the first 2 weeks.
