Scheduled for VGS on Feb 1



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I am a newbie here on the forum. I am scheduled for the sleeve surgery on 2/1/11. I am concerned about losing, ie like it may not work. I have been on pre op diet and exercise and havent's lost a pound. I am a nurse and pretty much know what is going to happen. Did anyond else out there not lose a whol lot before surgery, but after the sleeve you began to lose? Just need some reassurance that it will work.

thanks sl much

I'm scheduled for my surgery just before you on 1/29. That is my biggest fear, that i will have the majority of my stomach removed and i still won't lose weight. Scary stuff. I am also interested in the responses you get. Good luck to you!

It works, deep down thin you is bursting to come out. :)

Thin me found exercise, after my op I starting a gym with a personal trainer now I run 10k a day for fun. AT the end of the day its calories in v calories out and the sleeve is an awesome tool to reduce calories in. Good Luck!

      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.
