Hi all, I am a recent VGS on the 18.02.14 after being banded in 2008. My surgeon was initially reluctant to take my WLS to the next level however I put a good case to him about VGS being essential as a preventative healthcare tool to prevent diabetes, CVD, hypertension etcetera etcetera. Band was awful from day1, weight loss when having nothing more than Optifast shakes and as soon as I tried any solid food I either obstructed or was able to eat a whole family sized pizza. VGS is very very different! I have been on puree's for almost a week yet I don't have any sense of fullness. I'm unsure as to whether I should be strictly adhering to the recommended by NUT quantities at mealtimes or it's OK to eat more. I am down 9kg.
