    Re: VSG Surgery in One Week... Want to Cancel

    I think it's normal to feel this way and have 2nd, 3rd and 4th thoughts about surgery. Most of us would agree that IF we could have lost it on our own then we would have done it before ever...

    Re: How do you eat after surgery?

    Like AnnieG said it's very individual. I don't get any of those things you named and I'm about 5 weeks out from surgery. I don't go more than 4 hours or so without something to eat, even if it's a...

    Re: Hungry!

    Same here! I think about food and want food WAY more than I ever did before having surgery. I'm not really hungry but always thinking about eating. I chalk it up to head hunger, which is just as bad...

    Re: help with family & hunger pains?

    I feel bad for you and I know how tough it can be- I'm a month out from surgery. I live with my bf, a 12, 9 and 1 year old and it would be tempting to see them eating yummy snacks and foods I...

    No vomiting after surgery. I'm a month out from surgery and I've had a couple spell of eating too much/too fast and had the frothy, foamy spit-up thing happen. Usually you feel much better after...

    One of the doctors in the practice I went through will only perform surgery if it includes removing the gallbladder also. I think the thought process behind that is that when you lose a lot of weight...

    I've only had a laparoscopic gall bladder removal before the VGS and there was no issue or concerns the surgeon expressed about it.

    I only took off a week and a half but my job is pretty sedentary, mostly office work. I felt ready to go back to work, just not ready to wear fitted pants once I went back. So the first week back I...

    Re: Questions after surgery

    10 hours of sleep a night sounds dreamy to me! My surgery was on 8/29. Before and after surgery I get about 5-7 hours a sleep a night (depending on my 1 year old). I feel more rested now on the same...
