Hi everyone -

It's been one week today since I had my VSG with Dr. Kelly.. Thank you all for your encouragement and support - I woke up!! Recovery for me went well, I didn't vomit nor was i very nauseated. My friend had the opposite experience, I felt bad for her. The overall experience was very good. The team at the hospital were fantastic, they truly have some excellent nurses there. The after care when we went to the hotel was awe striking. Not ever has my doctor come to see how I was doing and he did that all three days. We were fortunate enough to also meet his family as well as meet and speak to Dr. Romero for a while. Since I've been home I'm doing ok and have received two follow up calls as well as some emails. It's good to know and see there is ongoing support..

Since home,I feel somewhat sluggish, with little energy and when I wake up each morning, I feel week and a tad nauseus. Is this normal? I also sometimes get a pain on my left side and I assume it is gas. Is it? I was told that the gas should only last a week and today is a week. Any cause for concern here?

I've been on liquids since the pre-op and struggling a little. I have absolutely no hunger and not sure I'm taking in enoug h Water. Any advice on how to get through the next six weeks. The head hunger has struck and I battle with that as my mind tells me I should be eating. I know I'll get throgh this and know it is temporary.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks

Shelley
