I am getting my surgery on 9/13 and I am a little nervous and excited. I see my surgeon on 9/7 so I guess I will ask most of my questions at that time. I was wondering if anyone has traveled on an airplane less than a month after surgery? I have a trip planned on 10/11 and I am not even sure how I will be felling by then and what I will be able to eat at that time; will I still be on pureed foods? I was also wondering if all patients have to be on a liquid diet before surgery? I know I am asking so many questions, just not sure what to expect. Thanks in advance for any insight you can give me..

@@olliesoda wow you look amazing! I am so happy to hear how well you are doing , 60 lbs lost is awesome. I have only lost 37 but I feel really good. I guess I am a slow loser but my knees and my feet appreciate some of the extra weight being gone. ???? I look forward to seeing more pictures of your progress! This journey is so exciting Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

That's awesome! Can't wait to see many more reasons to be happy!!

I didn't have a drain either.

@@dccarite I had my hiatal hernia repaired during my vsg. Mine was found during my endoscopy but I am sure it will not be a problem.

@@olliesoda i am going great. It's getting easier every day. How about you? I start pureed foods in Tuesday and I am really looking forward to see how I tolerate it. Thanks for asking ????

I was sleeved on 9/13 and came home 9/15. I have a had quite a bit of gas issues but the constant walking has helped; I have also had bm today (hallelujah ????????) I was on full liquids once I got home so a lot of creamed soup and protein drinks. I have lost 14 lbs since day of surgery. I feel good but still a little sore when I try to do too much. I know it will all be worth it!!

I am day 2 post op and I cannot believe how much pain I am in. I thought this would be like my hysterectomy but not even close. The gas pains and soreness are off the charts. I have been walking like crazy too. I think they are sending me home today too. Ugggh, I just want this to pass.

Good luck to you! Can't wait to hear how it went!

That is so awesome, congratulations @@isa209

Good luck! ????????

I saw my surgeon today and he does not require a pre op diet! The day before surgery I will be on clear liquids only! I asked about shrinking my liver and he did not seem concerned with it. So,Yay for me! [emoji6]

I am on 9/13!

Good luck! I can't wait for all of us to have the surgery and start this new chapter

I can totally relate to how you feel; it's scary to have this surgery but yet if we don't have it then what is our quality of life going to be. I hate hiding everytime I see someone taking photos, or not going to an event because I feel insecure about how I look. This surgery is going to change our lives which will also change the lives of our loved ones as well. The journey will be long and I am sure have a few bumps in the road but we got this!!! ????❤????

I created an account that is separate from my personal account. I have not told anyone about my surgery so having one just for vsg is a good idea. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

Started to follow under new account. I have ig account under Melaniemendia but no one is aware of my surgery on that one. So I created one just for vsg; sfvsleevelife Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App
