Hello

I am currently thinking about having the vsg and I am about 446lbs! I want to know if there is anyone that was or know someone. who was over 400lbs and did awesome with the sleeve. My surgeon suggest bypass and that scares the crap out of me!

hi there all i reached my 40 pound goal, i go to the doctors tomorrow to get my surgery date, so excited and cant wait

Go Jen!! I started off on the bigger side too and in 6 months I'm down 120!!! I have 100 more to go!! Good job you can do it!!

Way to go! Congrats! Now for the next step!

my date is july 22nd, i have to start doing three shakes a day, my liver is not small enough yet. I will keep everyone posted.

Way to go Jenngottaloseit! That is fabulous news for you and congrats on the weight loss!

Jenngottaloseit did you have any underlined medical issues?

I have sleep apnea. And really bad knees and back pain. I am only 29 so luckily I haven't gotten all the co morbid things like diabetes or hypertension

I have no liver disease or anything

Have you talked to Dr.Ahuja about how long he thinks your procedure will take?

He hasn't really said and I didn't think to ask. I just keep eating less than 600 calories a day and exercising to try and lose as much as I can

Lost ten more pounds finally broke the stall

Yay you! Keep up the good work! How long was your stall?

it wasn't too long about 10-12 days or so but it seemed like months. I am pre-op still and just been working so hard to lose enough so that my liver will shrink. I am hoping it will be ok.

Keep it up.....you are doing great. The same sort of thing happens after surgery too (I'm stalled now) but I heAr that's common. Keep the faith, I'm cheering for you!

Don't give up ! ( There is always stalls time to time)

Its ALL worth it!

It will pay off in the long run : )
