Hi. This forum is very unorganized, so pardon my netiquette if I'm posting out of compliance. I just had my VSG on 10/31/12 via Kaiser. I was released from the hospital on 11/1. The only major pain I dealt with during my stay was the hospital bed's lack of back support. I really don't know if I'm an unusual case or not, but I am a bit concerned as I really don't feel like I had anything done to me. Of course I can't chug down water, but I can sip an 8oz protein shake in 10 minutes or less without discomfort. I get hungry often. I even wanted to eat the day after my surgery. I finished the supplied bowl of hospital broth in almost no time. Yesterday, I introduced yogurt to my diet, and it has helped relieve the "gurgley: gas in my bowels. Last night, I even went to a concert. I have virtually no discomfort. I did this chime in not to brag, but to address my concerns of this procedure being a possible mistake. Please chime in! About me: My name is Andy. I am 45. 5'10", 305 lbs. (lost 28 lbs prior to surgery)
