Getting VSG in December

marisela87 · December 6, 2010

How exciting, and how exciting to have the surgery when you are young! When I was your age I was over 200 lbs. and managed to lose over 70 lbs. on my own (low cal diet, lots of exercise). I kept the weight off for a couple of years and then got engaged and then married, and started eating like a "normal person" again, and poof I started gaining weight like crazy. So now it's nearly 20 years later, and I have been back over 200 lbs. for the past 15 years or so, and every year I have told myself "THIS is the year I lose that 100 lbs again!" Every year I tried to lose weight and some years I would lose 20 lbs. But it's a LOT harder to lose weight in your 30s and 40s than in your 20s and I never was able to keep any weight loss off for more than a year. So now I've decided 2011 really IS the year I lose the extra weight, but this time I will have a powerful tool to help me and that is my VSG procedure. I'm so happy for you that you won't have the yo-yo diet & weight gain hell that I've had for 15 years. Yay for you!!!!!

AWW WELL IM GLAD YOU DECIDED TO HAVE IT DONE! IM GLAD SOMEONE TOLD ME ABOUT IT EVERYONE HAS ALWAYS TOLD ME "LOOSE WEIGHT NOW OR IT WILL GET HARDER"..I CAN ONLY IMAGAINE...IS ALREADY HARD FOR ME...I SERIOUSLY GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I THOUGHT I WAS NEVER EVER GOING TO LOOSE WEIGHT AGAIN....I'VE TRIED SOO HARD, TOO MANY TIMES....AND IM MISERABLE BEING OVER WEIGHT. IM GLAD WE HAVE THIS CHOICE...EVEN THOUGH IM STARTING TO FREAK OUT ...ITS IN NINE DAYS AND IM SO NERVOUS!!!!

Sure, I was nervous before the surgery, but not too much. I totally understand that you're scared, though. If it helps any, after surgery I was weak and in a sort of vague discomfort for a few days, but there was never any active pain involved, the pain medication is that good. It's not to say that the rest will be a picnic, and of course there are risks attached to any surgery, but if I had to make the decision all over again I wouldn't hesitate for one moment. Best decision I ever made, yes.
