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!

Great to see all the HAPPY people making changes for the better ! : ) Keep up good work!!! LIFE DOES GET BETTER!

Hello everybody my surgery date hopefully will be on 19 August just wanted to introduce myself and say nice to have a place to come where you don't have to hide our be ashamed.

Welcome Kay! This is a judgement free zone! Your day will be here before you know it! Jen, you are almost there! So excited for you!

You should follow a woman on Youtube (she's been video-blogging her entire sleeve experience) from 460 pounds on down to (last I looked) just over 200 pounds. (She's pretty tall.)

Her youtube channel and her name are "Less of Sarah". I think her videos will make things pretty real for you. You can find her at:

I have watched her progress on youtube and her journey has been an inspiration. I can't believe my surgery is actually the day after tomorrow.

I hit my first mini goal I set for myself!! So excited. I lost 54 pounds since surgery & 50 was my goal. I was afraid I was losing to slow but my dr is pleased and says I'm doing well. The big plus was all my blood work came back good so I'm getting all the vitamins & nutrients I need. Somethings have been a struggle but well worth it

Awesome job! Keep up the good work. I have surgery tomorrow and am getting nervous. And then excited. Can't wait to be reaching goals.

So tomorrow 9 am my life will be forever changed. I have learned a lot already but can't wait to really start living the sleeved way of life. Keep me in your prayers please. And I have to have a central line bc I am a horrible iv stick. They never can get me.

All the best Jenn, you'll do great! I'm on my second week of liquids, had surgery 7/14.

Good luck Jenn! Hope all goes well!

Best of luck!!

Update. Had a rough night the day of surgery. Severe nausea and retching. The next day and today have been better. Eating my popsicles and sip sip sip.

How long did surgery take?

Hang in there Jenn. Thinking of you!
