Hey everyone:

Thanks for your replies.    It just seems like a lifetime away but am hoping it passes by quickly.     I am very nervous about having the surgery and all the changes associated with it but I am positive the VSG will be the most amazing, life changing decision I ever make for myself.   :-)     

I have a relatively high BMI but have no co-morbidities so he said I "could" be eligible to have the surgery there at Rockland.     Either is fine with me as long as there is no pain.  (LOL).   riiigghtt.       

I go see Dr. Denis every three months and I continuously go to him with a variety of questions to ask him that relate to the surgery and how my life will be afterewards.         Will I eat normally?   Will I have to eat protein shakes for the rest of my life?   Can I go with my son to McDonalds and eat a couple of nuggets or a salad?   LOL    I watch a lot of youTube but at times I find it confuses me more than anything as there are conflicting stories.     - each physician & situation is different I guess.      Some have tons of pain and nausea,  the next person is just fine and dandy.    :-)   

Am so anxious to receive a call.  :-)     Will be patient and keep researching.    (I think pretty soon I can probably perform the surgery have watched it being done so much.  LOL)


Take care everybody.   :-)
