Yes, I am having VSG on 4/2. Starting to get very nervous. i had dinner with friends last night who did not know about my surgery plans. They we’re not very supportive. One is a nurse and was really troubled by my decision. I was up most of the night worrying.

HI there....I am VSG on the 2nd too. dinner with friends? I wish....LOL...I have been on my pre-op diet for two weeks and one more to go! You are brave to tell friends - good for you. I have told my hubby (Obviously lol) and a friend who has also had surgery! BTW I am a Nurse, with many years experience, and did NOT come to this decision lightly (I was ALWAYS AGAINST WLS), so don't worry about your friend. Nurse or not, she likely doesn't understand.

Yes, it has been a long path for me as well. I am ready also. My surgeon called on Friday saying there was a cancellation for this Tuesday if I wanted to take it.that threw me for a loop, I am sticking with orginal date since I had all my family obligations scheduled around that.

Do not worry too much about your friend you made the decision based on your health. I feel as long as you have information you need to succeed then it’s no one else’s business.

      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!
