Tomorrow is my VSG surgery

[Myrna Howard]

I am excited. It has been a year since I first inquired about the procedure. I have a 38 BMI. Last year at this time I was unemployed and thinking of paying cash for the surgery about $11,000. Fast forward to July 1 and I started a job with the US Government. I have such good insurance. I will stay one night at the hospital, had an EGD, a Cardiac Clearance and 4 months of nutritional visits. My total out of pocket is around $500 that includes all my doctor visits. I praise the Lord for all he has provided me with. I ask for prayers that my surgery goes well and I have no complications. Thank you. Today is my liquids only day.

Everything went well. I had major nausea after surgery from the anesthesia. Today I had an x Ray with barium ;leak test. I started my post op liquid diet today. I think I will be discharged today. Than you everyone for your support.
