    I had the VSG eighteen months ago. I have a whole new life now. I second the recommendation to join the group.

    Hello. I just had the VSG on February 9th. I'm 3 days out and doing very well. I had a hiatal hernia repair at the same time. I've now switched to the full liquid diet, but it takes a while to get in a full 64 oz each day. The focus is on the consistency of the liquid rather than the quantity. I'm drinking Pure Protein, Dannon light & fit yogurt smoothies and Ultima Replenisher for a natural electrolyte supplement. This was the best decision I've ever made!

    That is why I was referred to a bariatric surgeon because of needing hernia repair. This hernia has been repaired 5 times now & my hernia surgeon says that I need to lose a lot of weight quick in order for a hernia repair to work. He recommended gastric bypass. However the bariatric surgeon says it depends on if she can lift the hernia in order to do that surgery. Otherwise she will have to do the sleeve. So right now I am at the beginning of the process. So I am waiting on a call back to start nutrition classes. And my therapist is getting a letter ready for me.
