You guys are right. Even if I get the loosest skin of all time...I'm still going to be happy and healthy.

Wow...2oz of chicken is like one or two regular bites for me now!! haha That's incredible!! My concerns are just normal I guess. It's surgery. It's removing my stomach and replacing it with a stapled smaller one. It's getting sick. It's having to go back to work. blah blah blah. waah waah waah. LOL I am concerned about loose skin, BUT if that's what I have to experience to be healthy then so be it. I am blessed that my health insurance with my job is good enough that I'm not paying a dime for the surgery!! I just had to jump through a few medical hoops to get approved. Ryan

I'm not as strong as I sound! haha I just started Saturday! I might have a little something for dinner with the kids up until the 5th, but then hardcore before the diet. So you've already had the surgery? What are your thoughts so far? Ryno

Hello everyone, I'm new here and just wanted to talk with folks who have had the surgery. My VSG is scheduled for July 20. I'm supposed to start my pre-op diet on the 5th of July, but decided to go ahead and start it now. Nothing but Protein shakes and fresh veggies. I gotta admit I'm a little scared, but I hope the end results are going to be worth it. The biggest concern I have is excess skin. Doctors want me to lose 150lbs so I know I'm going to have some. Guess I'll just have to suck it up and deal with it. I know I'm sick of how much I weight now. Any advice would be great. TxRyno Starting Weight: 360lbs Current Weight: 355 Goal Weight: 220
