RNY to VSG in operating room



Recommended Posts

Oh my goodness, I'm sure that was quite the shock. I can only imagine how I might feel if I had woken up to something similar happening.

However, I'm sure after you have had time to do your research and you are feeling better, you WILL be one saying you love your sleeve and will probably be SO happy that your surgeon did the switch for you. I met a friend at my dr. office who had the RNY the same week I had my VSG and she WISHES she had known about the sleeve or done more research, she wishes she could go back in time and do the sleeve. But she is making the RNY work, we have decided to be support buddies to each other. I think waking up and NOT having any WLS at all would have to be the worst.

SO welcome, and post any questions you might have, this forum is the best place ever!

It has been 2 weeks and a couple of days and I am back to work, feeling great and I have lost 13 lbs. Still on full liquids, and purees and will be for the next 2 weeks. I have also had zero pain and all incisions are healing well.

I have had these 2 weeks to do the research and I can now say it was fate, destiny and God's plan for me. Very, very happy that I ended up getting the sleeve and finding myself in such supportive company.

Thanks everyone!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
