A little background about me, I am a little more than a week out from getting my date for VSG surgery. I have my appointment with my surgeon on 1/12/2011
I have done a lot of research and according to the amount of weight that I am looking to lose and all of the factors surrounding the different types of surgery, I decided on VSG. I have my concerns since this is major surgery and a major change in my life. And at this point there is not much that could change my mind . BUT I do want to make sure that I address everything that I can possibly find with my surgeon, Maybe I am searching a little too much, but I want to know as much as possible before going in to surgery.
Any information that anyone could provide would be helpful.
Thanks
If you had any WLS and were not taking a good iron and a lot of it, you most likely are iron deficient. But the pica is another indicator.

P.S. My year + long absence has NOTHING to do with my WLS, or my type of WLS. See my profile.
Not really sure what to do.

I have had my share of nasty bowel stories and some that rival the bowel fumes from my teen son. listen to your body and if this is not the norm for you then speak with doctor. Sometimes just a wait and see approach may be benefitial, but most importantly if dehydrated or going too much get to ER so that fluids can be administered as dehydration is not a good a thing and can be very debilitating and deadly.
Just wondered if anyone else had trouble with there bowels!~
Please share!
Hi thank you for writing I am so blessed that there are so many people who care It makes my heart feel good . I have had a MRI done and nothing. Every test comes out that they cant find anything so frustrating Im dealing with it a little better now that it has had time to sink into my head so all the Dr. are doing now is doing there best to make me comfortable . I hope you are doing well. I want to thank you for possibilities trust me there is nothing that could scare me what scares me is the not knowing . I have to say that through all this i am a stronger person so i am grateful for that ..
Thank you
Julie
