Malyss 31 Posted February 14, 2012 Oh, boy. I just got the call from my surgeon's insurance coordinator. My health insurance has approved the surgery! It looks like I'm definitely on for 2/22. I have my PAT on Friday. My after surgery prescriptions have already been called in and are ready for pickup...as soon as I get paid on Friday. Oy. The big day seems so much realer now! 1 Dooter reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McSleeve 0 Posted February 16, 2012 Hey guys I had VSG on 2/06/12, I am on another forum, but wanted to also hit this one up from time to time. Mine went so well, no complications, first night in ICU because my doc wanted to monitor me, but after that when I was finally allowed I progressed extremely fast. Well I lost about 20 lbs in the hospital and day 7 went home (stayed longer because I live out of country) put on some pureed and now soft foods, as soon as those hit my lips the weight loss stopped. I have read a lot of people who stalled week 2 or 3, but it is frustrating, 6 days now eating 800 calories and getting all my Protein and Water and not one ounce dropped, heck I think my scale just said I went up in weight. I know its natural but its messing with my head. Anyway whats up name is Ken! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Derel 287 Posted February 16, 2012 For me I have to watch carbs BIGTIME. My PcP prescribed me metformin and a higher dose of HRT and synthroid 200mcg good looking out doc. I love my new age doc. It takes me 3 days to get into ketosis. In ketosis I see the most burn. I lost a little over 20lbs as of today just messing around with ketosis (null) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
