My Single Incision 8/17



Recommended Posts

Hey guys and dolls,

So I am sooo happy I went with a single incision for VSG. 2 days out and it looks wonderful. So if you wanted to see the outcome of a SI here it is.

Oh my goodness that is AMAZING!! I am 10 weeks out and still have five scabs. I wish that had been an option at my hospital. But, I do not see myself ever wearing a bikini, even when I reach goal weight (not after the stretchmarks from having two kids, and then years of being overweight after) so I guess my five little scars are a small price to pay to be thin. BUT STILL, that is AWESOME!!

I had single incision too - doctor recommended it for fewer chances of infection. I'm pleased with having one spot to worry about, LOL.

I have 6 from my sleeve and another 4 from gallbladder surgery last Sunday. I kinda feel like a pin cushion. I think mederma will be in my future.

I have 5, but honestly....I have plans for Tummy Tuck, breast lift, etc. so Im not done with scars. These are minimal compared to what I know I will have. But, honestly at 16 days post-op mine have already lost their scabs and are looking great, so may not be a big deal anyway.

      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.
