Welcome Gabbott3. This site will help ease your nerves. You've found a site with many upbeat individuals who are happy to help with any questions you may have. I'm not sure how much you have viewed but so far everything I wondered about before I found this site has been answered in only a few weeks of viewing the many areas. Now prepare your self for unlimited knowledge regarding the vertical sleeve. The one thing I keep telling myself is that everyone's story is unique to the individual. Just because someone else loses more weight than you means nothing. You will lose at your body's pace. Best recommendation anyone can take is to follow YOUR doctor's directives.

That's awesome news! This site has been a wonderful counterbalance to the negative Nancy's "out there" who will tell you how their sister's friend's uncle's fiancé had the same thing done and it didn't help her one bit! Or they just go straight to the 'easy way out' statement.

This group has been such a godsend and has kept my drive to actually do this up. When I get down about this small lull in the process or have a discussion that is disheartening, I come here and read all these wonderful posts from some pretty wonderful people.

      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!!

      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
