In June it will be a year since my VSG. I reached my goal about 7 months after surgery. I am currently 10 pounds under my goal weight as of now. I am super happy with my sleeve and would do it all over again! I am from Ohio and Dr. Trace Curry was my surgeon. If anyone has any questions at all just ask! I love to help! Good Luck!

Ashley :)

Congrats!!! I hope I can say that in a few months - right now I am very discouraged:( I am 2 months out and have only lost 28 pounds.... Working out 4-5 times a week and following the diet, but the weight is not coming off like others....

I was 5'7 and 250 on my surgery date. I am now 140 today. I don't want to lose any more weight. It will be a year June 30th. And yes it is very frustrating in the beginning but trust me you will continue to lose and reach ur goal! I always focused on my Water and protein! My favorite Snacks are peanuts, string cheese and yogurt. I still can't eat very much at a time so I focus on eating several times a day. I have had a breast lift and implants and arm lift. I plan to have a lower body lift in September. I had a lot of excess skin! Sorry if I forgot something....lol just ask! :)

Hi Ashely! How awesome for you!! Ok...so you said ask, so I've just got to....How much did your breast lift cost? Mine are getting pretty saggy and I've only lost about 35 pounds! I figure by the time I'm done I'm going to be strapping the ladies down with my belt at my waist! LOL

I had it done by Dr. Kurtis Martin in Cincinnati Ohio and it was about 6k with lift and implants. I did saline because I still had a lot of breast tissue left. So that made it a little cheaper. The hospital and anesthesiologist was what cost the most lol

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
