It's been a while since I've logged on to VST. I visit OH mostly & trying to keep up with two message boards was too hard. So, I've been limiting my time online. Here's my update...

VSG was 7-7-09 with Dr. Aceves. I started at 201, 5'4. About two weeks ago, I had my gallbladder removed as I had many stones & was having some bad attacks. I am feeling much better from that! I'm glad that sucker is gone & will not be giving me anymore trouble.

I was 2 lbs away from my goal (135 lbs) before I had the gallbladder surgery. I put on about 4-5 lbs from the surgery (fluids & swelling). It was dissheartening to be so close to my goal & then see the scale move up even if I KNEW it was all Fluid from the surgery. Well, a week after my gallbladder surgery was my 6 month VSG surgiversary so I weighed in. Surprise! 135.0! I met goal in 6 months! :) I have since lost another 2 lbs in a matter of a few days. So, I am now below my initial goal of 135 lbs.

I've decided to leave my ticker like it is but to try to get to 125. So, that's my new goal...125lbs. If I make it, great. If not, I'm still more than thrilled with my success. I went from a sz. 18/20, XXL to a 8, M...I can even fit in some 6's & smalls. More than that, though, is how wonderful I feel. I could not imagine how much my life would change from one simple surgery. It's awesome.

I hope you are all doing well. I will try my hardest to check in here more often.

I had to have my gall bladder out right before thanksgiving too. I am with you on that one. I am glad that sucker is gone.

congratulations!

I like the way this board is set up better than OH, but I like the fact that there are more people over there who have been sleeved over a year.

Keep in touch!

Great job working your Sleeve. Congratulations!

I had my gallbladder removed in November and put on 10 pounds from the morning of surgery to the next evening. I was amazed at how much Fluid must have been pumped into me. Feels great to have it out, doesn't it? :001_smile:

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
