Sharing my journey to help if I can!

Hey there!

I had the VSG on May 9th 2011 and m in maintenance now for almost a year. Having watched You Tubes avidly during my preparation (and now too) I started a video record of journey pre-op that continues to today. I received an email from someone who found me and thanked me for making them as I helped support and guide her as she prepared. I realised that I have forgotten what a great source of help it can be and decided to return here, the place that also fed me my support and inspiration back then, to give the link to anyone who might need my help!

Know that I am happy to answer questions personally and that no question is silly, and also there are never too many in a day. I am mentoring someone through surgery locally and sometimes hear from her ten times a day.

The VSG is the best thing I ever did besides having my son and marrying my current husband lol.

I have been to the edge of the regain abyss and back too, and that can be a source of support.

Good luck to all of you about to embark on this journey!

A big thank you! I value hearing from and asking questions of Vets. You have a unique perspective and a wealth of information to share!

At 14 months I have thought about a video log...maybe in time.

Thank you for the link. I will definitely subscribe and watch! I am scheduled for my VSG on the 29th! I actually started a YouTube vlog also. I love watching other's experience. Thanks for sharing. You look great!
