I am 7.5 weeks out from my VSG. I am pretty darn happy about these results. My fasting glucose was an 82. Have others seen these kinds of dramatic shifts?

Doreen0716, I completely understand. I will be a year out on the 19th of this month and I've been at a stall for 3 months as well. I try not to let it get the better of me because praise God we've come a long way from where we were. I'm down 70 pounds trying to loose the last 10 but it's a serious challenge. I workout and I try not to consume over 1000 calories. I'm going to try to reset my sleeve/body by starting over on the liquid diet and go from there. So maybe that could be a start for you also. I see alot people are doing the keto diet that had the sleeve, so maybe try a diet plan that's fit for you. But whatever the case dont get frustrated re evaluate and keep pressing. I think the process has just slowed for us all after so many months, to me it seems like when i hit the 9 month mark it slowed big time. But keep us posted on your progress.

I I think you should just give them a big smile and say thank you I am doing my best and I’m glad that you noticed me

Yeah, we never get too old for learning experiences, look at all the things I am learning that I didn't think I wanted to know. It might actually lay some of her fears to rest if she sees nobody is out to hurt her baby. No matter YOU think you are, inside you will always remain HER BABY, she just needs to get settled in her mind BABY ISN'T GETTING HARMED! She must be a wonderful oerson, look at the nice daughter she has!👸👍👵

I hope it helps! I feel like it's something that isn't shared enough. ~SW: 278 CW: 165~ RNY 1/5/2005 "What got you here won't get you there."

This is awesome information !

Hi all, This is my first topic post here. So hi!! Tomorrow I see Dr. Long at the Bariatric and Metabolic Center in Parker, CO for my first consultation. I've been researching doctors and bariatric centers in my area for about 3 months now. I've chosen to look at Dr. Long first because he is highly reviewed on healthgrades.com, Cigna, Yelp, and Google. I think the average comes out to 4.8/5.0 stars with close to 300 reviews. So he sounds pretty decent. His office staff have been really nice any time I have talked to them on the phone. I'm excited and nervous. I've made a fairly good list of questions. I'm going to be self-pay as my insurance does not cover it, and will not even with an appeal. I have asked multiple times in multiple ways. So it's good and bad. I don't have to deal with the headache of insurance and their hoops. I get to have my surgery sooner but am spending a lot of money. I'm lucky in that I have some very supportive friends and family. With only one or two exceptions most everyone has been supportive. Some don't understand, but they ask questions to at least try. How have you guys dealt with family and friends who only focus on the potential side-effects of surgery though?
