My before and after 3 months out

Welcome Gina! I had VSG on 9/2/10 and I also had a history of dvt's and pe's. I had my filter placed about 1 week before surgery, everything went fine and i'm doing well. They went in about 3 weeks after my surgery to remove the filter but they we unable to retrieve it.......the dr said that it's fine to stay there the rest of my life actually. I'm okay with that because I feel like I have protection in case I ever get another clot in my legs I know that it wouldn't be able to travel to my lungs like before. I wish you luck with you up coming procedures and your weight loss.

That's great, keep up the good work!

I'm almost 3 months out, I didn't have any complications but I will tell you that this is no way taking the easy way out. If they are truly your friends they would support your decision to be healthier and happier. I would do it all over again in a heart beat.

That's great, keep up the good work!

Hey September Sleevers!!!!!!! I'm down 52 pounds since Sept 2 as of this morning. I'm so excited and happy about all the changes that have taken place in the last couple of months.

I've had PCOS for about 10 years and I had surgery 10 weeks ago tomorrow. I have lost 49 pounds, I know I still have a long way to go but I just wanted to let you know that you'll do just fine.

Congratulations!!!!!!! Keep up the good work.

I'M IN BALTIMORE ALSO AND I'M OPEN TO BEING YOUR BUDDY

Congratulations!!!!!!

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!

So in the last couple of days I've had some WOW monents, I wanted to share with you all........before surgery I was wearing a 4x pants to work this morning I put on a pair of 2x pants. Yesterday I walked to the grocery store up the street from my job which is up a hill and I had to walk up about 30 steps. I'm so proud of myself and happy as well.

Welcome and congratulations on your weight loss!

Thank you so much for the post Dizzylizzy. I just started thinking like that last week when the scale didn't move for a few day and I was getting frustrated. I wake up earlier now, I walk more and I can fit clothes that I haven't been able to fit in years. I feel so much better than I did 9 weeks ago before my surgery, so if the scale doesn't move for a few days it doesn't bother me now because I feel great everyday that I wake up. So again thank you very much.

Hi Mrs. Koubiks, Welcome! Welcome! And I'm also from Baltimore, where are you having your surgery?

This is my first time checking in, I had surgery on 9/2/10 and I have lost 34lbs as of this morning.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I can't belive it has been 6 weeks since I had surgery and I'm down 32 pounds. I feel so good and its only been 6 weeks so I can only imagine what I'm going to feel like in the weeks and months to come. I feel like a different person already, I have way more engery than I've ever had. I'm off of 1 of my blood pressure medications and in a few weeks I'll be off of another. I can handle that since I've been on medication since I was 21 and now that I'm 31 I'm only going to be on one. I've attached a before picture and a picture that I took a couple of days ago.

Thank you Jordien

I was sleeved on 9/2 and I have lost 31 pounds so far. I'm so excited and loving my sleeve to fullest. I wanted to thank you all for your prayers and well wishes.

I have to be at the hospital at 7 am tomorrow and my surgery will at 9. I'm so excited, kind of hungry I'm on a full liquid diet and I just realized that I hadn't eaten anything all day so now I'm sipping on some soup, lol. I can't wait to rock my sleeve to the fullest. I want to thank you all for the support that you've given me over the last couple of months and the support that I'm sure you'll give me in the days, weeks and months to come. The next time I post I will be sleeved.

Congratulations! I will be getting sleeved tomorrow so that would make us sleeve sisters lol. Good luck and keep us posted.
