  1. As the weight melts off clothes shopping becomes fun again, soon you will be smaller than the skinny in your circle. It will f3el good to pass your fat clothes to someone else, i gave mine to my daughter, she had vsg 3 weeks after i did but her starting wt was higher than mine, after a month she was asking for my fat clothes, and a friend of hers is asking for her fat clothes, anyway it feels good to rid your life of the past and move to move forward. Being a single digit pant is awesome

  13. Beingover wt effects your fertility. I was 42 when I did ivf if failed. I put off getting the sleeve cause I wanted a baby. Almost a yr after my tubal reversal. N no baby I gotthe sleeve.
