I had my Surgery on July 30th. I am trying to motivate myself to go walking. I have a free membership at the gym I just have to get there. I have moderately severe acid reflux. I'm hoping the working out will alleviate that
Thank you for this information. I have contemplated over 10 yrs and wanted to wait until my youngest turned 18 in case of complications. I don’t drink soda. I have always felt like getting surgery was being a cheat (not for others) but myself. However, I am so ready for it now after much research and I do believe it will change my life for the better. I just turned 48, and probably should’ve gotten it done sooner. I look forward to being more active!
I’m just a few days short of two weeks post surgery at Endohospital. I noticed in the report the dimension of the bougie used was at the narrow end of the range but it makes sense considering my stomach was quite a bit longer than I had expected. Once solid foods are allowed, I expect to measure and weigh nearly everything to keep the portions the recommended size anyway.
Dr A how much rest should i be getting after i have surgrey i know we have to be up walking and getting fluids should i be resting as much as possiable as im healing
#AskDrA My 2 yr VSG surgerversary is 8/17 which is hard to believe ! 🎉 That was one of my questions to my surgeon. I wanted to know how surgeons determine how much was removed. This is good info Dr. Alvarez ! 👏🏾 I'm going to point that out on my next Y.T. video update and of course reference you ! I love your videos ! 🙂 🙌🏾
Don’t fall for the medical tourism bull crap. If they were talented they would be practicing inside the United States. Clearly isn’t able to meet the standards in the US for a reason. Stay safe stay in America.
As my Dr. Told me this is all a mental game so to speak. Not to freak out when u stall. Dr A. you are a relief for all of us going thru this journey. Many blessings to you!!
i’m about 3 weeks after my surgery and like 3 days ago that left side area your talking about started hurting and i can’t lay on my side and twist my body as much is that still normal
Received my surgery date at Bailey's Medical Center on August 27. Love watching your informational videos. Helps me feel better going through this process.
I'm 40 and thinking of getting the surgery. I've battled with obesity all of my life. Up and down like a yoyo. I feel this would be a good tool for me. But I'm really scared to get the surgery.
@@imeldadominguez-najarro338 Hello! Yes! Most of my patients have hypothyroidism and they have great results losing weight, you can get more info about us here: www.endobariatric.com
Debbie is a great representation and this was a helpful and very pleasant video. I am one of the lucky ones who was able to have VSG via insurance but clearly with such a reputable, professional practice as Dr Alvarez has I'd go there in a heartbeat beat if I had not have. I get a lot of my maintenance education from Dr. A, including from his book. My total lost was 99lbs in 18 months (a couple times gaining a few pounds during travel and re-loosing it.)
#AskDrA Hi Dr.A, I wanted to know when should I start working out after vsg surgery? Once I start working out should I focus on cardio or strength training? I worry about having sagging skin, while also worried about gaining too much muscle while trying to lose weight. Thanks for all you do 😁
Hi, if i have rheaumatoid arthritis on immunosuppressants can i have gastric sleeve sugery? I do have a very mild history of DVT. Would it be safe for me? 49yo. BMI 31
