Hi group...i am also in the hicksville area and thinking about the vsg...i am double minded and can't seem to imagine going through the post op diet or eating 2 to 4 oz for the rest of my life...sometimes I think I can lose those 80 lbs by my self without the vsg....i need support to go for the surgery in 2 weeks

Hi Sunny! I am Lao going for VSG but nervous as well.. I'm realistic .. I weigh 242 and I should be about 140 ... There's no way in hell I will lose the weight AND keep it off, I'm 40 and overweight my whole life.. I need a change for good and I will never do it without help. Not sure about you but I'm tired of living like this..

CORAM,NY here. I was sleeved 3/12/14. Down 87 lbs. I would love to have some Long Island sleeve buddies to chat with. I also dont mind being a support buddy for anyone that needs it. Hubby was just sleeved 7/25 and doing fantastic. We wish we could've done it 10 years ago! Best thing we have ever done

Hi everyone.. Got sleeved on monday 8/4...was hoping to get out on tuesday.. But i did my leak test and a portion of the contrast would not go down and stayed in my esophagus.... I ended up regurgitating the left over contrast through out the night and they are doing another round of GI Testing this morning...doc said he did endoscopy after surgery and saw nothing out of the ordinary..they are hoping it was just swelling in my throat and that the antibiotics i got thru the night will have helped..other than that i feel good...5 incisions.. Did all my walking.. No gas pains..i am just hoping to go home. The staff at Mercy Hospital have been amazing..i will keep you updated.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I am having trouble with notifications and posting so I didn't see your earlier post.

I have just started on this journey and won't be sleeved until January 2015 because of the wait time required by my insurance.

I'm sorry you had to stay in the hospital and had the regurgitations issues. Dr. H. did 5 incisions? Did he tell you he was doing the incisions? Dr. Garber told me through belly button, but I can't imagine how he would get to my stomach thorugh all the fat strata.

Please let us know how it is going.

This is the beginning of a new life for you!!

Georgia

I'm glad to hear about Mercy as that's where I'll be too.
