Best wishes on your upcoming surgery. It will be interesting to hear about someone doing it with their significant other - at the same time!
For me:
pre-op - 12.6
1 mo. post op - 30.6 total
4 mo. post op - 68.6 total
6 mo. post op - 83.4 total
1 yr. post op - 120.0 total
1 yr. + 1 week post op - hit goal 150#, total loss of 122.6

Tippytoes240 reacted to KarenLR75 in Anyone know statistics on how many ppl get VSG but get no relief from hunger pains?
On another topic thread I have been reading, several of the people who were either newly sleeved or reported that from the time they were newly sleeved, they did not get relief from 'true physical hunger pains'. Not talking about head hunger masking itself as physical hunger. I mean the "real deal" here. I thought that with sleeve...and bypass...that hormones like grehlin (referred to as 'hunger' hormone because it stimulates appetite..and think it promotes storage of fat) and maybe others I'm not recalling were basically 'short circuited' to give additional help in addition to the 'pouch intake limitations'.
I honestly was looking just as forward to this relief as I was to the pouch limitations. This goes to show you no matter how much you think you've read up on stuff about the procedure you are having, you can come across sometimes...VERY IMPORTANT stuff that you did not know.
I know I'm having pre-surgery jitters (7/1) but my first gut reaction last night (after a VERY stressful day) was that there was no use in getting 85% of my stomach removed to just still be literally hungry all the time, even considering the physical limitation. Am not saying this is a good or correct reaction, but being honest in that is was my GUT reaction.
