Hi Dina you are not alone we are all here to help each other. I got sleeved Jan 2nd and I stall for one week and a half and started to come down now. I saw my Dr. This past Friday she told me I was doing great. I lost 25 pounds post op. she asked me if I excercise every day. I told her NO. She also told me most ppll lose 7 to 10 pounds at their 2nd visits. So don t feel bad it will come off sooner or later when your body is ready. I wish you all the best.

I did take the option program only two of us lost 10% of our weight out of 20 ppll. My Dr. Only accepts those who lost the 10% but I do know a couple in the of girls who did have the surgery and they only lost 7-10 lbs. please try to lose the 3 that u gained. As long as you do not gain they will do the surgery if u need help let me know I will help you I lost 53 lbs pre op . Good luck!

Any nurses out there that have had VSG?
Hi I am also a nurse. I work in a psych ward. My Dr. Told me I will be ready to go back to work on two weeks and I told him I need 5 weeks. I wanted to make sure I go back on my terms and completely healed. If you have the time and additional insurance take your time it will be worthwhile . I rested we'll unfortunately I am going back tomorrow
