Need ideas for Xmas gift for recent VSG patient



Recommended Posts

Any ideas on a Christmas gift for someone who is six months post op for VSG surgery? She's very close to her goal weight or what she's happy with. I've already ordered a digital scale, hers is ancient, but I want to get her more. We had our surgery together and it's my mom, she's helped me so much and I just want to show my gratitude. But no clue what to get.

Gift card to a store for new clothes? Or if it's your mom, a shopping trip together to buy new clothes?

What's your budget? I may get myself a piece of jewelry with a diamond for each 10 lbs I've kissed goodbye. A more affordable option is one of the customizeable lockets with charms inside. You can get crystals in them, plates with "congratulations" or "believe", or even have your surgery dates engraved on the back.

Thank you all for your replies, I've decided to get her a digital scale because hers is ancient and a plaque showing my appreciation for all that she does. The stripper idea was hilarious and I'm sure she'd enjoy, but just not the right touch. I'm into tattoos and she's interested, she has a birthday in February so I think I will save up for that, I really love that idea, will just need to find the right design. Again thanks guys! If you have ideas for designs I'm all ears. Happy Holidays and keep up the good work. ????

Does she exercise? I just bought myself a fit belt and I love it! I walk outside rather than at the gym so it's perfect for carrying my phone, headphones, keys, etc. while keeping my hands free.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
