Souledout 31 Posted May 22, 2012 Hi all!! I am new here. I'm from Mississippi and will be having my VSG in ocean springs. Had the initial meeting 2 months ago and meeting with my surgeon on June 12. Hopefully having my surgery the 1st week of July. I have yo-yoed my entire life and am sick of it. Very excited and extremely nervous (not very good with pain lol.). 1 MGM reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DebraLea 16 Posted May 22, 2012 Welcome! Whatever pain there is is worth getting the weight off. Actually with mine seemed the pain was more incision related than anything else. They will give you pain medication, they want you as pain free as possible since pain inhibits healing and causes an inflamatory response in the body.
