Today - My 2 Year Anniversary

[KabinKitty 11]

An email from Obesityhelp.com reminded me that it was two years ago today I had my VSG. No regrets!

I was not a big loser by any means. My surgeon predicted that because I started at 230 lbs and 5' 5" I would not lose 100 lbs. I did lose and maintain a 65 lb loss. I feel and look SO much better that I don't really care. I could be more committed about exercise and lose more, but with working full time and being 60 years old, I am content with my weight loss.

VSG is the way to go. I see coworkers who have all had GBP having Iron infusions. My iron has remained perfect. I eat very small meals and basically no food has bothered me. I do stay away from very spicy things, which I don't enjoy anyway.

The thing that has surpised me the most is how differently people treat me. This has changed with friends, coworkers and even strangers. It is kind of sad that I now realize how I was treated when I was a large lady. I get more doors opened for me, smiles from men and women and just find that people are more willing to strike up a conversation.

Hubby won't admit that he likes the smaller me, but his actions speak volumes!

I wish the best for all of you who decide to have the VSG. Just remember that it is a tool that you are given to help you toward a healthier life!

Thanks for sharing such an uplifting post. I'm a nervous 'pre-opper' and your story helped me today. Congratulations on all of your successes!

2 years being sleeved!!!!

"we" love to hear from you "more experienced" people

i agree with the dr. you are not a "big" loser - you are a big winner!!!!

true how people treat you differently after you've lost weight

opening doors, starting conversations, smiling more - sad you/we have to wait for weight loss for people to be nicer

oh well

take care
