Thanks for all the prayers! My surgery went very well! Actually got moved up to first surgery of the day - so they rushed me through pre-op stuff. No time to get nervous :) No nausea (love Zofran) and no narcotic pain reliever either- just extra strength Tylenol, Meds for stomach cramping and PPI worked wonderfully. Up and walking within an hour out of recovery. Barium swallow was good - but yucky tasting. Kept down liquids 2nd day - one oz. at a time. Two nights stay in hospital. Had a great night's sleep last night - in my own bed. Up and around, walking, sipping ... incisions bruised and a little sore ... but feeling great!

Since I was a revision, I'm still in the hospital. I should be going home by Monday Keeping liquids down. Don't like Multivitamin they are giving me. Yuk. But take it anyways. I'm glad you are doing so well.

I had a VBG in 1994. It was a type of WLS surgery that isn't really practice anymore because it doesn't work. (Vertical banded gastroplasty)

Yes I know many people that had this surgery , stomach stapling , now they have replaced it with the lapband it's less invasive .

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
