    Earlier this week insurance was a no go. This afternoon about 1:30 we get word it's been approved and surgery is set for the day after Thanksgiving. I'm starting the pre-op diet tomorrow. I wish I could remember what I needed and didn't need to take to the hospital eleven years ago!! Following several threads closely.

    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 :

    Thanks for the support and motivation guys!

    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!

    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?

    Morning :)

    I am 3 years post op VSG and after the first 3 months my hair began to fall out. By 4 months I had to use powders to cover up bald spots and finally by 6 mo decided to wear wigs from time to time because so many people were commenting about how thin my hair was ( not that is was their business! Lol) at 8 mo it slowed down and by 10 it started re growing. I now have all my hair back its so thick and I love that it went back to completely normal! I drank my Vitamins including a Biotin capsule (not tablet at the tablets to your Shampoo and conditioner ) but drink the actual capsules and that im telling you helped me so much with growth. I buy the capsules from Walmart not expensive at all and so worth it. Ps im a pharmacist any other questions about Vitamins or meds im happy to help!
