Hi I too am new to this type of communication, though I am very comfortable with computers. I had my VSG in Boston on Sept 29, 2014. As I experience recovery, I have the added issue of a need for knee replacement ASAP. Walking is barely accomplished to get me to the bathroom. It is frustrating. It will be nice to read others posts and experiences. I have joined an evening support group in another city that meets once a month closer to my home. I think I need all the support I can get, and I think this will help with daily and weekly thinking. Looking forward to hearing success stories. CANOEINNH
