You all are right. I guess some weight loss is better than. I weight loss. I just don't know if I should be doing something more.

I had mine march 15th in Fresno California. I'm three weeks out and have lost 22lbs. I started at 288 and weighed in today at 266.

Little disappointed. 22lbs lost. I was hoping for thirty. Meeeh

Hello, I'm new around here, but it has been really exciting reading all the posts so, I decided to join! I hope the "general forum" is okay to post this... Just a little background info: I've tried various diets/exercise plans and have lost some but never maintained it, so it just all came back. The most intense thing I have done was take phentermine, and I just don't like how that makes me feel when I am on it, and I could never keep the weight off. My sister had the VSG this April (2010) and has been doing incredibly well. Because she has done so well, I have decided to pursue having a weight loss surgery. I am ready for this life changing procedure, I just have to start my journey. I have an appointment early in Jan 2011 with my PCP and I have registered for two weight loss surgery seminars. I almost have my mind made up so I want to get the ball rolling because i know it is a long process. I also have in mind the whole insurance restriction/denial/approval stuff. You all seem very knowledgable and so my first question is: Do you know of any thing I can do now, to help with skin elasticity? I know the inevitable is that I will have loose skin and so I would like to know if anyone has read up or heard of things you can take/do to help with this. Thank you!
