Getting Vsg At 22



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone' date='

Just thought I would post in the forum! I got approved today for an August 22nd date. I got lucky in the fact that my insurance was actually pretty easy to work with and I got approved the first time I applied. I'm enjoying reading everyone's stories on here and am very glad I am having the surgery before I head back to school in September![/quote']

I'm 24 years old... i just got approved and did my pre-op today. Surgery is Aug 21st! Good luck!!!

I'm 25 and getting the sleeve this fall. I havent had anyone ask me if I thought I was too young..if anything I wish I had gotten the sleeve years ago

So I would have been able to enjoy my early 20's at a healthy weight. The good part is since we our young we will bounce back quickly and less changes of loose skin :)

I felt the same way. It is so frustrating the first several days. And you're never actually physically hungry. Stay strong!

I had surgery on the 21st and came home yesterday. Havent had any issues with wanting food. My struggle so far is being able to drink Water like I used to before sugary. I love water and only being able to sip it is not working for me.

How are you feeling? I know what you mean about the water! I love my water and I hate the idea of not being able to gulp it down! Oh well, I would much rather be a sipper and be thin!

I'm feeling ok, could definitely be worse. My right side and 2 of my incisions are pretty painful. But as long as in relaxing (laying in bed or sitting down) in ok.

      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.
