I am just 13 months out from having my VSG. I love my sleeve first off. I have lost to day 125 lbs and feeling great. problems along the way were all my fault. I had knee surgery because I hurt my knee 10 years ago and let it go and the weight started to come off and it was time for knee surgery. Than I had my gallbladder out which should have come out 23 year ago. Than I had elbow surgery, Mouth surgery, my last surgery I just had 7 days ago was a hysterectomy all my surgery went great. I was once a size 32 now I am size 10 to 12 depends on the jeans. I can wear Large or medium tops now I was in a 4X.

I exercise 7 days a week twice a day in the am I go to the gym and at night I go on my 12 mile bike ride. I love my surgeon who told me about his surgery I wanted the band but he told me about the VSG and said I would do great with it and feel better and be happier with my choice he was right. I had a CT scan done yesterday to see if I have a hernia. My next surgery will be my tummy tuck and than i will get the hernia fixed than if I have one. I did this weight lost surgery for me I took a year off of being a mom 24 7 to not being home much. My children are 23,21,19,17 so they did not need me around all the time. My husband did not want me to have this surgery he was scared something would happen to me. We did fight on and off when I was 5 months out from surgery I was changing and he was not and we did not get along to well than. He told me he wished I did not get this surgery because he missed me sitting in bed with him my face in the computer and his watching tv we did nothing and I wanted more I wanted to go go go and he just wanted the old way. He missed his eating partner because we shared our food and dessert all the time.

But because I changed my eating and do not eat very much he hated that. But now he looks at me and tells me every day that i am just beautiful and I have always been but he loves the new me because I am happy all the time and full of energy. My children tell me they are happy I changed and that i am happy all the time and that makes for a happy house hold. Nothing but better has come from having this surgery and i am loving life and LOVE MY SLEEVE. I am not at goal yet my goal is 145 but I am still loosing and love it. You all have a great day. I would show you a picture but do not know how on here sorry.

Weight before surgery was 290 lbs

      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.

      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!!
