Thank you so much .. I decided to go with a VSG ;)

Hi. My name is Kim and I am in great need of a doctor who will provide a detailed 4 month supervised diet plan. My urgent care doctor doesn't provide the services. Thanks in advance!!!!

I am finding that fior me, the excess gas they used during the surgery has been the most painful part. I have been able to walk around the house and trying to keep up with fluids. Dr. G told my husband that one of my arteries near the stomach was abnormally large, and therefore he had to place the band lower....not sure what this will mean in the long run, but I plan on getting answers tomorrow! Was able to have some baby rice cereal with skim milk...about 1/4 cup with some splenda...was actually quite good! Next is to start taking the vitamins...I also get to take off the bandages today and have a shower!!! So excited! I spent the evening looking through the new app "My Lap Band" and getting excited about all the healthy recipies for meals!  

OMG, please help! I have been going thru the process of preparing for WLS for almost 14 months now, and today had a repeat EGD, while my 2 ulcers healed the GI doc now said mild duodenitis, probably from the tx of the 2 ulcers......my surgery date is 10.24.2012 (it's my 2nd date)does this disqualify me for RNY???????

Hi there!
Not sure if you've decided to go elsewhere or no tbut when I had mine I qualified for same=day surgery as I was 5'2 and 214lbs.
For me personally - best decision of my life. I had a seamless recovery (thank GOODNESS for the advice of an airplane pillow) and lots of melatonin recommended by Dr R.
