Hi, Take a look at this thread by Skye, aka LapGyrl. http://verticalsleevetalk.com/pre-operation-vertical-sleeve-surgery-vsg-questions-answers/7640-im-finally-mexicali.html She has done a video blog, www.youtube.com/lapgyrl which is truly inspiring, and explains what she has done only a few days ago, you will find it completely reassuring.

Hi everyone, I have updated my albums with some truly horrible before pics, these were the ones I had to send to my surgeon Dr Cierny in the Czech Republic at the very start of my journey to getting the VSG. There are a couple of interim pics too and some 1 year out to 14 months out. Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery (VSG) Forum - Jane_J's Albums I am this morning 1lb to go to my goal of 133lbs and I am very happy :laugh0: I hope these will help to motivate all you lovely people who are following me in your weight loss journeys with the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. We can do it!!!! Hugs to you all, Jane x

I can tolerate wine pretty well, but the 1st time I had it I was a drunk as a scunk on 1 glass. However I persevered and am back to normal, but I am much more a light weight now. It depends if you want to risk the extra calories and the possibility of dependancy transfer. I know I will always have to watch the booze, have it as a fun thing rather than a way of life if you get my drift. Jane x PS Part Red Indian is cool!!!

Hi BJean, I think all their wildlife is scary, but I have never dived there before. Oz is on the opposite side of the globe to us so I think its very long haul, but I have always wanted to go. Jane x

Scuba diving is great, really recommend it. I learnt on my honeymoon a million years ago and had to stop because of the weight and fitness issues. I have dived since the op and it was fine. Am looking forward to doing the great Barrier reef in Austarlia this Christmas, fingers crossed. Jane x

I found that if my calories are too low I stall!! Jane x

Hi I love your YouTube videos, you are a terrific girl. It will be wonderful to watch your weight loss journey. Jane x

Your friends at the office sound lovely, you are lucky to have nice mates. And you will end up taking them up on their offers, I hope you get your surgery soon. Jane x

For you Kelly anything Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery (VSG) Forum - Jane_J's Album: Sex in the City party It was a real laugh :cursing: And our hosts house was really cool, a converted factory. I can't believe I wore those shoes from 7pm to 4 am the next morning. It's a wonder what a plentiful supply of wine can do to a person. :lol0: Jane x

Me too please at jj@nrjconsulting.co.uk Jane x

I remeber going to ObesityHelp and mousing over their before and after pictures in a most obsessive way, to get my motivation going. It seems such a long time ago now, but it was only last year. Stay strong and just wait out the weight loss. Jane x

Hi, I had the 5 port procedure and I can't see my scars now. I applied bio-oil to the scars from month 2 to 6 and they have just faded. Jane x

Yay, brilliant result!!! Jane x

Not passed out at all for the last however months. Just to say that.

PLease don't be scared. I have just come home from eating out with friends, see normal life carrying on here. Please do this surgery, it's the best thing for us who can't sustain a diet. Jane xx

I made out a living will in case I ended up vegetabalised!!! Jane x

Sometimes you need to eat more calories to lose more weight, if it's too low your body goes into conservation starvation mode. Jane x

Hi Globie, make sure you have a lunch hour and walk round the shops. To be honest the not eating much is far more effective for losing weight than the exercise thing, for me at least. I was lucky in the last job, the kitchen was upstairs and I worked downstairs and as I have to have at least one cup of tea an hour I got plenty of stairmaster type activity. Before the op I was a workaholic but now I am a bloody skiver, I really don't know if my work ethic will ever come back. I keep trying to persuade DH that I am old enough to retire but he's not buying it. We have the twins to fund through Uni and the house to rebuild so I guess I will have to keep on flogging these old bones. Jane x

Great news Steve, welcome to the club. Jane x
