Hi from Baltimore :)

Hello There

:) I've been lurking for the past few days.... posting little things here and there. So today I thought it was time to introduce myself!

I'm Jes. I'm twenty three. I've been married to my love for four years now.

We live in Baltimore, Maryland. I'm a teachers assistant.

I am hoping to have my surgery in December!

Thank you everyone who posts. Originally, I was leaning heavily towards the band. Then, my nutritionist made a comment, and made me start looking into the sleeve.

Through reading this forum, I have decided the sleeve is the way to go

:) I look forward to getting to know you guys!

Hi and welcome to VST! We are happy to have you join us here. I wish I had have the option of weight loss surgery available to me when I was your age, my life would have been so different. Congratulations on your decision and keep us posted on how you are doing.

Hello and welcome to the VST.

I was the same way, went looking for one type WLS ended up with a different one. Glad I did!

As you have already learned from lurking on this site there is not much about VSG you cannot find out about here.

Looking forward to reading about your journey.

Good Luck,

Gary B

Thank you all :)

Nikkey-I'm going through Franklin Square. I normally hate them. But, I met with their weight loss surgery team... and, they're amazing.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
