August 2008 I received my VSG which was to be the first stage of a two stage DS procedure. I've since decided I won't need the Switch stage and the issues it brings with it. At my highest weight I was over 450 (that's as high as our scale would go) I am now at 285 and still losing on a regular basis. My goal is to reach 220 and be less than half the man I used to be. I am down to 1 HBP from 3, no longer have any sleep apnea issues, no longer pre-diabetic, glaucoma is much improved, and I no longer take the 14 Advil per day for joint pain. I still have some joint problems, but I've only taken 3 Advil total since my surgery over 9 months ago. I spent nearly1000 hours researching what I thought would be the best surgery for my SMO condition, and found out I only needed half that procedure. Good luck and good health on your wellness journey. I've found this to be a fun trip, and think it's the best gift I've ever given myself.
