I will have my vsg surgery on dec the 11th. I’m nervous but also excited for this new journey in my life. I was wondering...... Was any of you guys recommended to buy a post op surgical compression garment?

How exciting for all of you! I had my surgery 12/30/16 and my life has changed for the better in so many amazing ways. I was right where you all are a year ago so I just wanted to pop in and offer my support and congrats.

Good luck to everyone this month! I was sleeved Nov. 29th, but I feel like I belong with you Decembers, if that is okay!

I'm 6 days post-op. Threw up all meds and everything but Water until day 4. Now I easily tolerate Protein Shakes and meds: I use Isopure zero carb with plain water. I hate Protein water and Jello so far, and beginning to hate popcicles!

I still can't tell when/if I'm hungry, full, have acid reflux, or what is going on in this belly of mine! Also, of all 4 incisions, the one near my belly button is the worst for pain!!

My head craves food so bad, right now i want a slice of cheese and bread! These pass and change all day, but are obviously easy to ignore since my stomach feels like it was hit by a car.

That's me so far in a nutshell! I look forward to meeting you all, and hearing about your progress as well!!♥️MM

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
