Success is the best revange.

The pain is different I had 3 c-sections, I had pain but I guess not as bad but a lot of ppl say they didn't have much pain from VSG I did so idk I take pain well & some days was better than others everyone is different, but if you had a c-section you should be fine! good luck!

I am that warped person that kept my band after removal! So far, so good with everything. This was the best decision that I could have made. I can now eat healthier food without that stuck feeling and I don't have the acid and back pain issues that I used to have! It took removing 60-70% of my stomach for me to feel normal again. BEST. DECISION.EVER.

I was on this forum quite a while ago asking for help with insurance issues, etc. For 3 years, my insurance denied me, even though I appealed with a ton of paperwork from several doctors and made numerous phone calls, wrote letters and on and on. My place of employment finally switched to a different insurance company in 2017 and I had my first visit with the surgeon the beginning of February. I had already been to other doctors, been to nutritionists, taken weight loss meds, and done so many programs, so I had already met many of the pre-requisites. After jumping through some more hoops, having some tests done, seeing another nutritionist, I was finally approved for surgery and it is now set for July 25th! I am so very happy to start my journey, my only regret is that it took so long to get here. But, I'm here now and wanted to share my good news! I'm a little nervous about it as I've not had many surgeries in my life, but I know Ill get through this and my life is going to change for the better in so many ways!

I will be 8 weeks out Tuesday. Started at 283 now at 233. I also had a plateau for 12 days I was stuck between 238 and 240. It finally broke two days ago and I went down to 233 and I've been there ever since. I just kept doing the same thing and eventually the scale moved for me so I think it will for you too. Good luck. I know it's frustrating but it's exciting too crossing my fingers for all of us.
