Topic: New to the group
Good Evening all, My name is Dennis. i live on the East Side of Tucson. I have to see my PCP for 6 months before i am able to have my surgery. My surgeon is Dr Chiasson. I will be having the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. I am hoping to have my surgery around christmas. I am looking for people in the area for support. Is there anyone in this group that I can talk to and get some support. Thank you so much and hope you all have a great week.

Thank you for the kind words. I did have an appointment with Monash on the 18th, were you there too? What a small world :)
Everything with the surgery went great, I had a hiatal hernia (didn't know I had one, explains why I had heartburn a lot) they repaired that during the surgery too.
So far I feel pretty good considering I had surgery a few days ago.
The only thing I have been having issues with is the gas that is trapped in my shoulder area. It's uncomfortable. The doctors pump your cavitiy full of gas during the operation and it takes some time for it to be absorbed out.
Dr Monash is the best! He was friendly, attentitive and gave me lots of good information. When you schedule your surgery he gives you this informative binder about the surgery you are having and the post op diet. It's awesome.
Please let me know how things go for you Angel. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.
