VSG yesterday. I’m on the other side.

[MedicVSG 30]

Well I had my surgery yesterday. VSG by Dr David Oliak. Surgery was done at Orange Coast Hospital, in Huntington Beach CA, and I’m in the ICU for a day because Severe OSA. But that’s been fine on their CPAP with my mask.

I’ve walked a few times. Last night and this morning. A little sore but really not bad. Still NPO which sucks. I’m so thirsty.

Looking forward with little trepidation for the next part of the journey.


Good look all.

Just had my first meal. 4 oz of Water over an hour. Once that was ok my RN brought out a tray and I ate 6 oz high Protein Veg broth and 2 oz high protein Jello. Now time for a nap.

Have permission for coffee when I wake up. Sooo excited for that.

Thanks everyone for all your support in this and some past posts. I’m still a little overwhelmed by this but am glad I went through with it.

Did you know you would be in ICU ahead of time? Just wondering because I also have OSA. Congratulations btw!! You sound like you're doing great.

YEP!

Yes we planned for the ICU. Which really was better. The RNs usually are on top of their game and have fewer patients.

I think my OSA is moderate but not severe. I'm definitely going to ask my surgeon about this though. My Other Doc said make sure my head is elevated and Im on my CPAP immediately after surgery. (Hope they remember!)

I’d take your CPAP mask from home. They made me use their machine but us my my own mask really helped. When is your surgery?
