HI Everyone.......I haven't been on the OH site in several months and just found the message about this forum. I am one year post VSG surgery date is 9/22/08 and down 73 pounds. I am 5'4" starting weight 224 now 151. I am happy right now with where I am with the exception of lack of exercise. I have had virtually no problems with this procedure, one exception which is heartburn...have had a rough bout of it the last couple of weeks. Had my 1 year appt with surgeon with blood work and had great results. I can eat virtually anything but do try to avoid overly spicey foods and sweets.

Just wanted to say hi to everyone now I need to read all of your previous posts

Hi Connie! It will be great to have your experience here. Your weight loss is great.

Welcome Connie,

It is great to have you here on this forum. Can't wait to hear all about your experience with surgery and living the sleeved life. Jump right in and make yourself at home.

Hi! It's good to have some people farther out here. Sometimes I feel lonely. :thumbup:

Welcome to our family. I am sure there will be people who will benefit from your experience. Most of us are just a few months out.

I hope you stick around and post frequently!

HI Macmadame I recognize your name from the OH site .........I believe we are close to the same surgery date.

My one year anniversary was yesterday!
