Slim2016

I am sure you will get good news. I go back to the doctor tomorrow for my 2wk post-op. By my scale I have lost 14lbs. It is a wonderful feeling:)

I recently converted from the lapband to VSG as of Oct 1st 2013. I had the lapband for 2 yrs with little weightloss progress and severe acid reflux. I knew I had to do something different. I couldn't decide for several months during my pre-op visits if I wanted the VSG or the gastric bypass. I was afraid the VSG was going to eventually be similar to the lapband and I didn't want to go through a bad experience again. I researched and researched on both procedures and finally decided with the help of my surgeon that VSG was the best procedure for me. I am not a diabetic or have any major health problems. I am excited about my new journey with the VSG. It has only been 2 weeks and I feel I am already showing progress. I really am not hungry at all but making sure I get in my protein and walking everyday. I hope and pray I made the right decision with having this procedure verses the bypass. I appreciate any input on your experience and what your progress has been. Thanks

Hi, I am 2 weeks out and my stomach is making noises as well. Maybe because it is finally waking up and trying to figure out what is going on..lol... I burp a lot to and when I have took in enough liquids I feel it almost in my throat.
