Hello, wondering who much you gained in 11 years? I am also 11 years post-op VSG, I have regained 40lbs however the GERD is just so bad every day I did not know you could get a revision to fix that. Thank you!

I decided to make a private Instagram for my VSG life (I am a secret sleever as you can see I've been a member 4 year and don't post pics) I found the VSG Instagram to be helpful to keep me on track and get great meal ideas! Also helps me stay accountable let me know if you are on! My IG name is : Smallbird_vsg Thanks for the support and motivation guys!

It's funny I've been on bariatric pal more than 4 years and I just found out a week ago haha

Hi everyone just wondering if anyone is going to the 2016 Obesity Help conference in Anaheim, CA Sept 31-Oct 1st? I would also like to purchase a ticket if you have an extra or no longer can go. Thank you!!

Hi everyone I am one week post op my Tummy tuck and I am constantly hungry and wanting to eat. I'm eating a lot of Protein and fruit but I'm afraid I'm going to gain more Weight. Anyone go through a big appetite like me?

Thank you so so much for your reply!! I think I'm going to go for it!

Thank you everyone for your responses I appreciate it!

Hey everyone I'm three years post op vsg I weighed 260 pounds and lost 120 pounds but recently in the last six months or more gained 28 pounds I have managed to lose 8 of those pounds and I'm trying very hard to lose the remaining 20. I do have loose skin on my stomach area so I know even when I had hit my goal originally I still had a lot of loose skin. Im 26 years old and do you want to have kids in the future maybe five or more years from now. I'm wondering if anyone has had a tummy tuck and if you're happy that you had it done? I am also wondering if I should get it done and enjoy feeling confident in my 20s or if I should wait to have children and then get the tummy tuck done. My last question is if you did get the tummy tucks done are you OK with how the scar looks and has it gotten any better after healing? Thank you so much!

So gorgeous! Do you mind if I ask what plastics you got? I'm thinking of getting a tummy tuck but I'm not sure if I should wait to have kids first

Hi everyone I'm three years out vsg and I have been gaining weight pretty rapidly yet I am exercising like crazy I won't leave the treadmill less I lose 1000 cal and back to basics on my protein and this is been over the last three months I did go to my surgeon and they did an ultrasound and discovered that my fundus had stretched so they recommended I do these sclerosant injections however, I cannot find anywhere who does the injection I am currently living in SouthernCalifornia. Does anybody know where I can get these injections done please?

Thank you all so much for your responses!
