I had my vgs on September 23, 2013. I must say that it does get better. I have lost and gain and lost and gain weight but overall I have maintained 100 lbs weight lost over the years. I have been a victim of body dysmorphia and I have beaten myself about it over the years. My advice is to give yourself grace and be patient with yourself. Most of all love your self and your body. Find what works for you. I have learned that discipline is best. I don’t drink sodas or carbonated drinks. I don’t eat candy and I only treat my self to treats every once in a while. I also learned to fast. Eating between 2pm and 9pm works best for me. Ensure that I intake mostly protein and find a way to stay active. It wasn’t easy but it does get better. Must love to everyone and I wish you all a successful vgs journey.

I also had Dr Ortiz. He was great!!!Everyone was awesome even the nurses. I was sleeved on September 23rd. He was very affordable as well!!!

"Why are u getting sleeved? " was the question that I was asked over and over again. It was followed by the comment "you're not that big". It consumed me a lot. I dwelled on comments like this all the time. I stand 5'3 weighing 248 lbs. I always was overweight even growing up.i tried every diet that I could possibly think of. The result were I dropped a couple pounds and gain more . I realize that I had to stop and face the fact that I had and eating disorder. It didn't matter what I ate I just couldn't seem to get full. I would want more. I knew that I was risking every moment eating my life away. I was even told that I was "cheating" by getting sleeved and that I should lose it the right way. My response" if u haven't been in my shoes with being overweight with and eating disorder how dare u say anything".Getting sleeved on September 23rd 2013 means so much to me. It mean s that I can finally live and be happy. I hope that this can be an inspiration to someone that is considering the sleeve. Remember its ur life so why not live it ....xoxoxo

I have been sleeved on 9/23rd as well I can sleep on my side as well as my stomach but the issue that I am having is getting the liquids down. I can get about 5 or 6 spoons of broth and then it feels like its rumbling in my stomach and trying to come back up . sometimes its like that and I haven't consumed anything. Has anyone else experience this?
