Vsg after laparoscopic hysterectomy



Recommended Posts

I just had an laproscopic hysterectomy at the end of March. I have scheduled my vsg to be done end of May...too soon?

as long as your surgeon knows then it is fine. I had a hysterectomy last August and my sleeve in February, but the delay was due to something else. I know someone who is having both done at the same time.

I am not sure which surgery was my favorite, they are both life changing in so many positive ways!

I was also told during my hysterectomy that I had alot of scar tissue. Do you think that will jeopardize a successful vsg?

I do not. because these things are in completely different areas. Because I have an ongoing lymph node issue in my abdomen my surgeon took a look at the lymph nodes and "vaginal stub" before he went on with the sleeve. maybe I had a slight amount more soreness from his look around, and it added a half hour or so to my surgery but was very worth the peace of mind because he felt everything looked great.

I wouldn't worry about it.

I had a hysterectomy a few years ago. Zipper cut incision. When I had vsg surgery couple mths ago dr. Said she had to remove a lot of scar tissue while doing the surgery. I have had no complications but my surgery lasted about 3 hours because of this.

      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.
