Hello, I am thinking of getting the VSG. I received my packet to have testing done. My appointment is April 7th with the Nut, Dr and Psy. Any long terms out there with any advice?
 
Hi and welcome. First advice: Look very carefully at why you are MO. Are you "simply" a volume eater? What co-morbidities do you have? How MO are you? These are the kinds of questions that should be influencing your surgery choice.

Do you have PCOS? Type II diabetes or any precursors? Do you have to starve yourself like crazy to lose weight? Have you been on many diets? These are signs that your metabolism might need more help than a restriction-only procedure can provide. In that case, it would be a good idea to look at the DS as an option.
 
Hi, Joy - glad you found us.

our best advice is to give a lot of thought to which surgery you need so you get the right one. in general, you can't eat a lot of carbs after any of them however - it will be protein first.

tell us about yourself, we'd love to hear more.

:welcome2:
