I hadVSG surgery Oct 16, 2012! SW 288 CW 190 I love my sleeve and my new body I exercise quite a bit for muscle tone. I eat just about anything but still in very little amounts! My skin is not terrible but I would like to have my stomach and Brest done this year! I'm glad I was able to retain my curves my goal now is to tighten and build firmer muscles! Still have occasional reflux, like now!! But I know what triggers it! Today was caffeine in iced tea!! I forgot! Oh I am so excited and glad that I can wear actual designer jeans!! I wear a 31/32 in True Religions!!!! My clothes are mostly medium I wear 12 pants. I really thank God for my surgeon and my insurance!!! It has changed my life!!

You look fantastic!

<p>Sorry but when I read your screen name the first thing that came into my mind was..." I got her saved in my phone under Big Booty." LOL I <em>hope </em>you get that reference. Hope that doesn't offend you.</p>

Lol!! No that's not a problem!! I'm just glad it did not fall off with the weight loss!! It's still very big! Lol

You were pretty before now you are just plain gorgeous! Nice job!

Thank you soo much!! I'm still working at it but the surgery has changed my life!! I'm finally not struggling with food and weight!!

You look beautiful! Your legs look strong! And you can pull off that tan dress like nobody's business! Beautiful!

Thank you soo much!! That was a few weeks ago, I'm trying to keep some muscle tone....squats and lunges till summer!!

You look just gorgeous. Great work!!

Thank you Hun

<p>Simply gorgeous! And OMG, I just noticed that you used Dr. Boynton, that's my surgeon too! I'm hoping to get a date for surgery very, very soon!</p>

Thank you!!!! Yes Dr. Boynton is great! He's very quiet but excellent. I only have three little scars! I pray you get your date soon, they scheduled my surgery 10 days after insurance approval! It all happened so fast!!

Wow you look beautiful!!

I am having the same problem!!! I will be 3 weeks out on Wednesday. I have a hard time keeping things down. I take antacids because I have developed some type of reflux/gas issue since the surgery. I can't keep down any Protein shake' date=' mix, powder of any type. I have the inflavored Unjury which I add to my chicken broth but it gets so boring after a day or two. I'm really missing eating. I have tried vegetable Soup and got down like 2 spoonfuls of the broth and 4 noodles. The sugar free popsicle are too sweet. For some reason since the surgery EVERYTHING is super sweet. I also have a hard time with my own saliva getting foamy and then it comes back up after while. Getting a little discouraged because it seems like ill never be normal again and have questioned my decision. I can't wait to get past this phase because my current diet consists of Water, chicken broth, and unsweetened tea. Pls help if anyone has any advise.[/quote']

Please call your surgeon about the heartburn so he can prescribe a med for you if he hasn't already. It sounds like you have reflux which most people get after surgery. Antacids will not help the reflux and tends to make it worse overtime. You might try prilosec over the counter but I would call him immediately. I developed reflux about a week out and called my surgeon he put me on prilosec 2x day for two weeks then once a day. I'm almost 6 months out and I'm down to maybe 3 times a week. But call him...very important.

Oh I'm down!! It's my birthday month!!

Don't cry!!! Look on YouTube at some videos of the surgery and research staples on there. You have to do what's best for you, because you have to live in your body!! Keep praying, watch some vsg videos and ask God to give you guidance and peace with your decision! It will be ok!

Congrats and prayers with you!!
