Whoa! I'm hoping to get it done in 3 month time... Gives my job time to find coverage for my absence and me enough time to prepare for the new eating habits! I've been research hung my protein powders and vitamins... I have an Amazon cart full! Lol

How long did your process take? From Consult to Surgery date?

Can't wait!!! I'm a pretty confident girl but I can only imagine what life will be like when I can shop at normal stores (and not plus-size online stores)! Ugh!

Hello Group, Just wanted to introduce myself and my journey to the forum! I'm 27yrs and I've been overweight since 2003. I weigh 269lbs & I'm 5'7. I have tried Weight Watchers (lost 20lbs and gained all of it back), low calorie diets, Slimfast, Slim Quick, exercise and Phetermine. And the weight keeps coming! I'm pretty active and I still can't seem to lose much weight. I started looking into weight loss surgery about 2 weeks ago. Probably like many of you, I ate, slept, breathed weight loss surgery! I looked at Lapband but after reading about food getting "stuck" I was COMPLETELY turned off! I decided on VSG! My cousin has recently had the sleeve done (1/2013) and she looks AMAZING! I have scheduled my consultation for June 27th (the day before my Bday). Meanwhile, I have enjoyed reading some of the journeys on here and continue to research the sleeve. I'm anxiously waiting to start this new lifestyle!!!
