The VSG was very easy for me. I had the surgery on a Wednesday, went home on Thursday and went back to work on Tuesday. I worked half days that week...I was pretty tired but back to regular hours after that. I had zero complications. It was pretty textbook. Of course, I'm HOPING for a similar outcome. I'm 90 lbs lighter than I was then, probably not in much better shape than I was then. I am having a radio frequency ablation procedure on my facet joints at L4-L5 Friday so hopefully I can get some walking in after that leading up to my surgery. I ordered the VL Prepackaged DS regimen and I'm going to start taking that as soon as they arrive, plus I ordered some extra D and some preferrin to start working on getting my D level up and my ferritin up. I have an appt with my primary doc tomorrow so I'm going to talk to her about the surgery and B-12 shots and iron infusion. She was very supportive of the VSG...I hope she will be equally supportive of this.
Thanks to all of you for your replies!
