Tomorrow is my day! I have been so nervous and worried that this is the wrong decision for me. But as the time gets closer, I'm just ready to be on the other side of the journey!! So happy to hear all the good reports and so excited for everyone else's upcoming surgeries.

Bright Blessings

Hi y'all! Surgery is done and I'm in my room. Had some serious pain in the beginning but now with all the meds they have in me I'm feeling ok. My largest incision hurts some but the majority of pain I feel is in my chest which I guess is from the gas. Been drifting in and out of sleep for the last few hours but I'm awake now and even walked a little bit. Thanks to everyone for their prayers!

I'm November 20, Harrisonburg, VA! I am only concerned about incision and muscle pain. I had a complete hysterectomy by vertical incision (cut was about 6 inches long) several years ago and thought it was the worst surgery to recover from. My hubby keeps saying its not that again, and I will be fine. I have a high tolerance for pain, but don't ever want to go through that again! My C-sections were a piece of cake comparatively. Other than that I am ready to be on the losers bench for good!

Thank you! !! Still on full liquids til the 21st!!!! I am a bag of mixed emotions still. No regrets yet. Went dress shopping today for my brothers wedding and it felt soooooo good. I have a lot of energy for surgery just a week ago I am barely in pain :) I just want to swallow less air and my sleep breaks every night due to "hunger pains " I know its not my head....still grateful and feeling good!!

I keep hoping that it will be easy compared to hell I have been through! Thanks for the pick me up! I am planning to go back to work at 1 week post op. This should be fine, I went back to work at week 3 from one of my c-sections, don't know what I was thinking, obviously I wasn't!

I had 2 c-sections and I was wondering about that. So the c-section is worse?

I hope my fellow November sleevers are doing well!!!

I'm doing much better today (day 6 post op). Still have a little incision pain, but not horrible.

Life is looking up!

I've decided to start a blog to chronicle my adventures with my VSG, so I thought I'd share it with you all...in case anyone is interested.

      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
