Dr. Chu wanted me to take off two weeks, but I'm a teacher and had to get back to school. I promised I would take it very easy and went back one week post op.

Thanks for the information, Shannon! I might have more questions as the time gets closer. I'm so excited and anxious!

Oh, and Shannon, your picture is very nice. How much weight have you lost so far? I'm been going through the pre and post op info from Dr. Chu. I'm amazed at how comprehensive it is. Very thorough. I'm glad my insurance approved me. I guess it's worth all of the grief to know that I will have post op care. Although my Plan B was to go Mexico, I was definitely worried about any necessary aftercare.

Picture was taken pre op. I've lost 45 pounds counting pre op diet. I'm 4 months out. I'm losing very slowly but it's still losing. I want to lose 30 more.

Hey Louisianans! :D

This is my first ever post on the site, even though I have been stalking for about a month. I think I joined the sight 6/7 and just last week I filled out some of my profile info. I figure the best place to start is at home with you guy’s and gal’s! After reading up on VSG and joining this site I am now ready to take my first step. I have chosen Dr. Lavin in Covington as my surgeon. I will be talking to someone on his team on Monday about making an appointment for a consultation. I will keep everyone posted.

What I love about this site so far is (what everyone loves) the amount of support you receive. I love that Louisianans are deep in here because it shows how much we care about ourselves/ health. We care enough about ourselves to give up on the best eats in the world. (Side note- when I travel I can’t wait to get home to eat) I am totally ready to give it up and give my body a second chance at living.

I am so proud of those who have gone through surgery and have accomplished your goals. Keep up the good work and I will be joining you soon.

XOXO

I too had Dr. Lavin. He is great. His staffing has improved though. But I'm very critical with staffing. I had surgery at Fairway. They were wonderful. I was in for 4 days. I had some complications. But they were wonderful. Good luck and let me know if you have questions.

      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
