I had my suregery pre op was tough and I had to do it twice cause the "blizzard" my surgery was rescheduled

I'm down 28 pounds which is good surgery was 12 days ago but the pain under the incision he took stomach outta if horrendous!! I've had 11 other medically needed surgeries and never took more than three or four days to recoup this is not good the pain is burning and stabbing and I stil cannot lay on my sides and the pain goes from front right to back I can't bend it's bad

Dr said it's all internal bruising because he tried to keep incision small and pull thru but I think if rather but larger cut and less pain I have kids to tend to and I can do crap but cry moan and bitch that Elective suregery is stupid

I'm not a negative person just so over feeling down I can't even be happy w weight lose due to pain

Just wanna get to gym and feel well

Hey guys! My surgeon is Dr. Trivedi at Advance Laparoscopic Associates and my surgery is scheduled for the 19th of this month at Hackensack Hospital. I'm actually waiting to hear back from them in regards to any preop diet, I'm a little worried because I was not given any prior instructions on this. Anybody else familiar with this situation? ????

Dr. Trivedi did not have a pre-op diet for me. I had VSG 8/1/13. I'm down 83 pounds but still have about 100 to go. Take advantage of the first 6 months to a year loose as much as you can because the loss slows down. I am just getting back on track now.

Yeah, once I get throught this phase 1 and can start exercising safely, I'm going at it hard and accurately. I've heard that everyone hits a slump after about 6 months for a while.

      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.
