I can only suggest that you keep on reading about the VSG and bariatric surgery in general. There are some good books out there even if they don't cover the VSG in detail.

totally me too!!!!!!! Just had all my testing done. Psych eval on Monday. Then they submit the stuff to insurance and I wait for the qualification. It sucks waiting but obssessing about the surgery and checking all the realted websites helps pass the time lol :) Obesity Help. com is a good one. Not as good as this one I'm finding but the people are super nice. Also I am compiling a list of shake recipes for the 2weeks before and after surgery and tasting the different brands. So I will post a blog to review my favs.

If you haven't already, you could check out,

http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/

She is a RNY patients has lots of yummy recipes for different food stages, and some tips on WLS in general.

Also, Fatty Fights back is a great WLS blog. You would have to go way back through her archives because I think she's 2yrs out, and she had VSG.

I'm not a book reader, but I love word puzzles, and mindless internet games.

The closet clean up is a great time filler. You can come do mine if you wanna! ! ! Just kidding, and fingers crossed you don't have too long to wait.

      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.
