I have cheated ?? .. I'm not having VSG .. in having open gastric bypass in 2 days .. I've been on my full liquid diet for 12 days now and like 2 days ago I had maybe 3 small slices of turkey ham ? I was starving and last night when making dinner for my husband I had a very small piece of chicken breast .. it's very hard to not eat especially when ur very hungry and tired of just protein shakes jello and chicken broth or tomato soup ... Also today I added a little bit of homemade salsa to my chicken broth to give it a lille flavor ? ... Hopefully I will be ok for surgery on Monday ...

I recommend that you investigate Vitamin B deficiencies... B1 , B2, B6. Baseline labs may shed some light...These B deficiencies reflect in my Hubs Neuropathy issues. It's a long shot.

Hello OH Friends and Family!

We would love to share your WLS Journey in a Before & After featured article on our ObesityHelp.com home page and social media platforms! Or perhaps you would like to blog about a topic that is important to you? Your journey and words can help to inspire so many others! Whether you are 20-plus years as a post-op or a few weeks out, or considering surgery...your words matter! Please email [email protected] for brief guideline details.

Why are people plagued with GERD post-VSG with smaller stomachs and less stomach acid for digestion with passing undigested foods? super stinky poo... and reduced stomach and stomach acid, heart burn, for a stomach, removed that never grows back nor you get or keep the full amount of stomach acid as you do pre-op?

You can search and find professional doctors stating that there are degrees in malabsorption for bariatric surgery, all surgeries. That is why they say all bariatric post-op needs vitamins since you cannot each like you did pre-operations.

Lots of folks doing Vlogs on YouTube stating they wish they had taken the vitamins since now they have permanent damage that could have been avoided. So let the folks work with the doctors that have their personal medical records and can run tests and prescribed medications to help them get the professional results they required which are unique to them. Just options can hurt them with no collateral insurance if the opinions are wrong.

Folks out here getting revisions to RNY... and just dealing with even less since the GERD post-VSG is dismal.

Remember wither it is VSG, RNY, or any other type of bariatric surgery, they all are serious selective surgeries with risks.

I had surgery on a Tuesday. I was back home on Thursday and walking on the treadmill. On Sunday my sister-in-law came to visit and was amazed that I was dressed and doing light housework. I went back to a computer programming job on Monday. My sister-in-law called my surgeon that Monday and ended up having her RNY about six months later. She had put it off for years, due to fear of a long recovery. I felt amazing, but was worried that the other shoe was going to drop. That did not happen and I felt better everyday.

I had a pain pump in the hospital and did not need any pain pills when I came home, I did take a stool softener and I did follow my surgeon's food plan very carefully. SIL had a job that required more physical work and took off two weeks after her surgery. I did not lift anything over 10 pounds for the first month after surgery. You sound a lot like me and I think you will be fine to go back on Monday.
