I had my follow-up with Dr. Billy today and an Upper GI. My plicated stomach looks very good. There was 1 area of concern where Dr. Billy might want to tighten later if needed but other than that all went well and I was cleared for mushies. I drank 1/2 an Isopure during the morning - 80 calories, 20 grams of Protein.

On my trip home I stopped for lunch. I ate about 3 small bites of scrambled egg, about 2 ounces of french onion Soup and a couple of small pieces of the cheese on top of the soup. I'm stuffed!! I don't quite know the full signal yet but started sneezing soon after I finished so I figured that might be my full signal. I used to sneeze if I ate too much with the band too. I think I'm gonna start carrying a measuring cup with me!

I'm gonna go walk now.

Take care,

genepha

It doesn't take much food now, does it? Sounds like you're doing great - keep it up!

I sneeze and my nose starts running and my eyes Water. I try to pay closer attention, but I am really bad about one more nibble.

What does the upper GI consist of? xray?

Thanks for the update. Glad you are doing so well!

Upper GI is like an x-ray but I had to drink the white chalky contrast so the dr.and tech could see it go through my new tummy. They also have this fancy table that lays you down and then stands you back up. It's easy but the contrast tastes nasty!!

Thanks so far I'm enjoying my plicated tummy much more than when I had the band.

I'm back from my plication Genepha and I wanted to email you so badly but I was in awful condition for the first few days and could hardly do anything! I am back to good though and excited to see what my results are. Can I admit that I am daydreaming about eating regular food! I doesn't get to me until I make dinner for my family though.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
