VSG on 05/15/17

Just wanted to give a quick update. Dr. Jones removed my lap band and did VSG on Monday. There were no complications and I am amazed at how well I'm doing. Got out of the hospital today and hoping I can remember to do everything. Walk, sip, siprometer, pee, and more, repeat repeat repeat....lol
I am so happy to be on the other side of this. I can't wait to learn more as I go along this journey. Thanks for sharing on these forums, it means the world to newbies like me. Mary

VSG on 02/15/17

Congratulations!!!! I had the band ions ago and had complications within a year. I much prefer the VSG as a tool than the band.

I'm so glad your surgery went well, welcome to the VSG club. It is going to take some time to heal and get used to so do be gentle on yourself the next few months.

I'm with Grim, the best thing you can do is sip, sip, sip and keep yourself as hydrated as possible.

Look forward to seeing your progress
