Opening the door



Recommended Posts

Thought its time to invade some privacy, so i'm opening bearded's room door...:thumbup:

Fresh male here, saying hello to all. Wish there was a simple "introduce urself"section. I find "tell ur story"too dramatic hehe...no story to tell, just hoping I did the right choice.

Send a message to Susan. I am sure she can make that section for you.

Congratulations! You did make the right choice.

Hi ladies and thanks for the welcome.

Yes I got sleeved on the 17th of july. As you have probably figured, I'm still in the full liquids stage.

I'm still not pain free, but I do sense it gets a little better everyday. Going back to work in less than a week and REALLY hoping these cramps and aches will vanish soon enough.

Hi susan, bearded m8 and angel, his better half :ohmy: very happy to meet u all, I wasnt expecting such a nice welcome.

I will surely update u on how things go. By the way, I live far away...the other side of this planet, but was drawn to this place cos I've been reading a lot of what everyone had to say...including the VSG section on the lapband forum. Your stories played a major role in the decision to get sleeved. God bless

Hey burn....was glad to see this men's site and also glad to find some men posted as I've mostly found female VSG patients on some other sites.

I had my VSG July 28 and feel awesome. No pain, no nausea, no nothing. I feel really lucky. Was 345 at my highest and just yesterday dropped below 300 (I didn't think it was ever going to happen).

Just wanted to say hi and hope we can talk some time.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
