SanDiegoVSGGal got a reaction from jsrmanatee in Introduction:
I was so totally there, don't know my actual top weight, however, I do know three weeks into my "Do over" as I call it I accidently stepped on a floor scale in a hospital and saw this number flash on this little screen in red, it said 479. When I figured out it was a floor scale and that was my weight I did the stealth look around me to see if anyone was near me and I wanted to DIE!!!! Seriously I did want to die when I saw that. In the next three years I was fortunate that I was able to give up about 165 pounds. I became stuck due to numerous issues and bounced between the same 20 pounds and decided after reading about the different surgeries to give it a go. Now I had verticle sleeve November 2 2011, and I have never heard of two surgieries for it. Not even in the literature of the lectures from the surgeons. Not sure what your surgeon is talking about, however, I sure would ask for the specifics. When I finally saw the surgeon before my surgery to get approval I had a list of questions to ask him and he was great about answering them. Everyone is different as is every surgeon, I would sure ask though. Best wishes and to all, thanks for being here, this is a safe place I need to be.

Thank you guys for your comments. Seriously. There's really no one in my life that I can talk to about this stuff - or want to talk to about this stuff. I appreciate the support so much. I wish all of you strength and health

I so totally get this, believe me I do as I have been there and feel sometimes I am still there. The good thing is tomorrow is a "Do Over"
I found this site tonight while I was looking for info about stretching out your sleeve. I just learned a few things tonight that make total sense. When eating certain foods "Sliders" I can eat more of but when I eat healthy Protein I get full faster. Tomorrow is a DO OVER and you will be ok. I am 18 months out and I am down 80 pounds with about that much more to go. I can do this, I will do this, one day at a time!
