Surgery went well on Monday. There were a few changes prior to going to surgery...like I got the VSG instead of RNY. At the decision of me, my mom and dr. I'm a little sore but I know its to be expected for a little while anyway. It's good to see you guys!!

People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. ~Author Unknown

Here's the story Shani,

At my initial consult, my surgeon had suggested I get the VSG because of my BMI. When I talked it over with my PCP she wanted me to have to RNY because of possible dumping. Come to find out the way my surgeon does the surgery there is little or no dumping. So as I'm laying on the table ready to go to surgery he comes in, goes over the paperwork and notices that it says RNY. He's like this is not what we discussed at consult, and he was very adimant and passionate about VSG. Had a nurse come in that had VSG to talk to me, and I'm like ok let do it. Here I am VSG recipient.

Well scoot on over to the VSG board and check it out. I was on there for a while when I was researching options. They are all really nice! And you can take all the NSAIDS you want. Come period time you can Motrin it up! Congratulations again, on your sleeve.

Congrats on your recent surgery!

Are you self-pay? I would be concerned with how your surgeon coded your procedure for insurance purposes....jes saying.

Good luck on this new chapter in your life!
