So I am currently down 73lbs...honestly can't believe it myself but it feels amazing! I went from a size 18, if I was lucky, to wearing anywhere between a 12-14....lord only knows how long it has been since I have seen that size! I have had an extremely positive experience with vsg and would do it all over again if necessary. I am loving my self again and starting to gain my confidence back to where it was before the massive weight gain! I was lucky that my recover was so quick and my three small incisions are basically gone....bikini body next year!! I a truly thankful every day for this surgery, it has changed my life! i am also very thankful for the continued support I get from my friends and family
Prep op: 258, surgery day 5/7/12 weight: 249, current weight: 185

In the beginning it is all trial and error...sometimes you almost have to over eat to know what your limit is! Believe me once you do you will know what is good for your body. At this point when I start getting burpy is when I know I have had enough.... I know disgusting! I have become a burping queen! Some food are a lot easier to eat than others but once you start consuming solids avoid foods like Pasta and bread...they taste good of course, but fill you up fast and give you little to no nutritional value! Good luck on your journey, enjoy the ride to weight loss and getting to the losers bench!

Yesterday I found out I was approved by my insurance for VSG. I submitted on April 2 and had been calling just about every other day to see if it had been reviewed. When I called yesterday the women for BCBSTX told me, it looks like according our records blue cross will NOT cover the surgery! I was like what really? Then she retorts, oh I apologize I read that wrong, according to our records blue cross has approved medical necessity for the surgery, you have been approved! For a second there I was devastated but when she clarified I kind of freaked out! I had been preparing and jumping through all of the insurance hoops for 6 months and I can't believe that it is really happening! I am still in shock, but can't wait for Monday morning when my Dr office opens so I can actually schedule a date!

I completely understand...I even tried LB brand boots but they wouldn't zip over my calves! I can't wait to wear cute riding boots! Best of luck to you!!
