Hi December Divas, I am 49 and was sleeved in TJ on Dec 5 by Dr Garcia. I am thinking of this surgery as pushing my reset button. I have struggled with losing weight for the past 15 years. I could lose it only to find more later, although a few years back I lost about 30 lbs and was able to maintain my preop weight of 209, sometimes less.

I have no regrets and yes still have head hunger but I know that once the hard part of relearning how to eat and live with the sleeve it will all have been worth it. Last night I saw a burger king commercial and could taste the burger...lol I don't even like burger king.

Good luck to those of you that have surgery coming up.

Hello fellow December VSGers! I just had my surgery on Dec 16th. I had a lap band 2 yrs ago and had to have it removed July 2010 due to a leaking band and a bad infection. I lost 156 pounds with the lap band. After it was removed I gained back 40 pounds and decided to have VSG done.

Hey thegerm -- congrats -- how is your early recovery going?

Sorry- double post!

Jaz- how are you doing?

Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas! I'm about to go over to my family's for the traditional Christmas eve dinner- not looking forward to being surrounded by yummy food that I can't eat... Otherwise, I am 4 days post-op and feeling mostly back to normal.

How was the Christmas dinner survival? I opted out of going this year. Still being on a clear liquid diet...feeling sore...I just opted out!

Christmas dinner was ok- I was surprised that the only temptation for me was the ham! Usually I am a starch/sweets addict... I just put my Protein Drink in a pretty little glass and sipped it while everyone else stuffed themselves. I felt pretty superior when everyone else was stuffed and in pain, and I was still feeling really good! So, I would say it was a good experience, overall!
