Hi Everyone! I am new on here and am going to get the ESG surgery. I actually had it scheduled for Monday ( 22nd) but cancelled due to worrying about it. Has anyone on here actually had this surgery? If so did you lose weight? How much weight can you lose with it? What is the realistic expectations I should have? I need to lose about 65 to 70 pounds to be back to my normal weight of 160. I would really appreciate any info on this procedure. Thanks Shelia

Hey Tex! Thanks so much for the info. I have been looking on YouTube for bloggers who have had this procedure done and they are very few, but there are a lot of regular sleeve bloggers on there that show how they are making it work for them. I am not sure if the surgeries are comparable or not? I called my doctor today and have now got ESG set up for March the 6th. I just hope I don't chicken out again. I am a vegetarian and actually do eat pretty healthy, my problem is portion control and sweets. I LOVE SWEETS and it is my biggest downfall. It seems that I gained weight after I quit smoking over 6 years ago and when I hit menopause I just ballooned up quick. Thanks so much for taking the time to replay and I will check out your other posts. Thanks Shelia

Thanks so much! I did read it I really hope I am not making a major mistake.

I found it but I really didn't find any answers to the questions I would like answered. I tried to post my question to that board but just could not find that area.
