A few last questions:

1) How do you feel?

2) What has your experience been with the VSG?

3) Anything you would change?

4) What don't you miss?

1. I feel pretty good overall. I am having some gallbladder issues... Currently seeing doctors to figure all if that out. But besides that no issues. I haven't thrown up at all since surgery. My biggest thing is when I eat something I shouldn't (high in fat or sugar) I get diahrhea (sp).

2. My experience has been very good. Besides the gallbladder issue its been very easy. I have had a stall here and there (especially around my period) but that is normal. I also am losing hair... But that is normal as well.

3. If I could change anything I would like to have been more informed by my doctors about gallbladder issues. I did a lot of research and attended all appointments but somehow the gallbladder issue never came up. I am now on actigal but I know a lot of people are prescribed that to take right away... I wish I had it to prevent the gallbladder problems... Not to treat it afterwards like I am.

4. What don't I miss? I don't miss my life revolving around food. Now don't get me wrong... I still think about it a lot and I deal with head hunger A LOT! But my body is never starving. I can do a lot more now that I've lost weight. I feel somewhat more outgoing... I can fit into more chairs. I can lick my toe (I know... Disgusting but I just had to try!). I can clean myself better. I can walk with NO back pain. So many things.

Hope this helps!

Hi' date=' what was your weight at time of surgery?

Great Job![/quote']

My weight was 370. I wasn't required to lose any weight before surgery. The only stipulation was that I couldn't gain any weight before surgery.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
