Cons: Less weight loss than RNY, no malabsorption, more risk for GERD, change it will need to be reversed to RNY due to heartburn and not able to lose enough weight. 50% chance of putting Type 2 diabetes into remission vs. 80% with RNY.

PROS: No dumping, no malabsorption issues, able to take NSAIDS.

I had RNY and am happy that I did.

It must be a hard situation after surgery to deal with even more pain. My mother had the same issue and the doctors told her it might take some time to go away even with the medication and constant supervision from their side. She was constantly complaining about it and I felt so bad, so I decided to take some action. After a thorough research and a few phone calls to people that know the great benefits of kratom extract and the natural painkiller abilities it has I had to find it for her. I have to say she went through it much better till she recovered.

OFeeling a bit discouraged.
I have done all my pre reqs for surgery.
Had an abnormal EKG & went in for cardiac clearance.. was unable to get that, due to increased heart rate my cardiologist is giving me a echo and 48 hour monitoring for my heart.
another setback.
Feeling very discouraged..
Any kind words would be appreciated.

To all of my VSG vets, did you all have hoops and bounds you had to get through in order to get your surgery.

I feel like this surgery will never happen.

In my family HOCM is genetic and my sister is pretty advanced with the disease. She was cleared. I have had a lot of abnormal ecg's. If you have only had one follow-up on it, but don't be too freaked out. It may have been nothing. I hope things go well for you.

Just had an EKG, and it came back abnormal.. I am trying not to freak out, but I am freaking out.
I have a history of high blood pressure & high cholestrol.
I scheduled my cardiac clearance.

I am worried this will stop me from getting my VSG

Anyone have any experience doing this before surgery.
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
