I am having my second vaccine shot 2 days before surgery. My doctor said this is completely fine, no problem.

I’m scheduled to have my VGS March 19th but I’m reading everyone’s posts about being consistently hungry. I want to do the sleeve so I’m not hungry all the time! I thought the whole point was to not feel so much hunger. Can I drink fiber between meals to not feel so hungry? Does anyone have words of advice for this bc im considered not doing the VGS since I do t want to feel hungry for the next 30+ years!

I’ve done cool sculpting and yes it does work but it’s Extremely expensive each time and you need several treatments on the same are to see results. Also the nurses “forget” to mention how extremely painful it is and pain killers don’t help. The freezing part actually kills your nerve endings and when the nerves grow back it’s very painful for up to 3 months. I dont recommend cool sculpting.

I’m scheduled for March 19th, a little nervous for the after diet but I’m just going to go with it!

Great. Thanks for everyone’s answers. I’m doing mine mid March and I was getting nervous reading all the posts about horrible recovery’s. Hopefully it will be an easy recovery 🙏

Anyone have an easier/fast recovery time after gastric sleeve? My Dr. says most patients only take Tylenol for pain after surgery and need about a week to feel good. However reading everyone’s experience on the forum is making me question this.
