Just wondering how everyone's doing with 2017 surgeries?

I had my VSG on Feb 8th, a month before my 64th Birthday. I have lost 75 lbs and feel great! Now I can be a participant instead of a spectator which is a awesome feeling!

Had my vsg 5/15/17 and have lost 22lbs so far...I turned 60 on 5/7 ...so far...other than some nagging right tummy pain I feel good and have no troubles getting all the Protein and fluids.

Congratulations sounds like your doing great. I have 3 more days until surgery I can't wait.

[Guest]

Best of luck to you...it's been a journey and I hope a good one for you too!

I'm 63 and had my surgery on 5/3/17. I have lost 42 pounds since my pre-op diet started on 4/19/17. I'm feeling great and so glad I did this.

Mewoobie... you are doing great!! I had my surgery 5/15/17 and since surgery I have lost 23lbs! Isn't it amazing! So happy I did this

kimmlu - Thank you. I had a really hard time trying to get all my fluids in a few weeks ago, but now, I find that I can drink crystal light without it tasting too sweet and I can drink it much faster that I could then.

I love Crystal Lite...I buy the little squeeze bottles and just squeeze them in my Water bottle....so easy but not cheep

@CharlyScott Check- in. LOL

I am 3 mos in the preop. Only thing left is 3 NUT appt, ultrasounds stomach, legs,etc, bloodwork, EGD?, surgeon consult 2 weeks before? I did not need sleep study, EKG/stress, and already did Pysch. Have lost 9# since PCP initial appt.

(Charly I still can barely see and it's a waiting game)

Hi all, I had my sleeve done 6/22 I am very swollen on my right side and hip. Pain is minimal. I am sipping sipping, just very tired but I had some blood loss and I am tired I am taking Iron and should feel better. I was very dizzy after surgery so my contrast got delayed. Oh by the way I am 67. It is nerving making sure I don't drink too much. Just a process and learning curve. Wishing you all the best.

Glad to hear that it goes away. Did you use ice or heat on it? Glad you are doing better.

[Guest]

I used ice...and took liquid Tylenol...I kept walking...I just had to pressed my tummy with my hand...it was hard to straighten up for a couple of weeks also...how is your dizziness? What is causing that? Oh and I'm 60

Thanks ice is what I am using, the doctor said I had a large hematoma which would be blood loss wether that or the fact my blood pressure dropped that made me dizzy. The dizziness has past thankfully. I just feel drained I know it will get better but yikes!! I am looking forward to full liquid lol
