I'm going to keep things short and sweet because I go in out of being awake to being asleep. My surgery was yesterday on 4/9/13 in South Mississippi. Dr. Avara is my surgeon and he did a wonderful job with my surgery and aftercare!! I'm experiencing discomfort but mostly I'm doing well! I don't regret, the time, effort or energy that has been put into this journey! My life was at stake without this procedure so I chose life! I would like to scream a big thanks to all of my previous, present and further VST forum supporters!

Congrats!! Best wishes for a speedy recovery. My surgery is next Tuesday - so glad to hear you are doing well.

Congrats! Best of luck in your recovery! Your positive spirit and attitude are definitely on display.

Good to hear that all went well! You're on your way to letting the thinner, healthier, more beautiful YOU out of that body! Sounds like you had a good experience! Keep us informed on your journey! I hope to be sleeved this summer some time.

Congrats

Congratulations and welcome to the other side!

All of these food commercials are making me nauseous!!!!

I wish they made me nauseous! They make me think about food and what I want to eat. Not good.

I just want to report my 10lb weight loss! I'm a week out today! I'm so happy that I took this step in the right direction for my health.

How are you feeling, are you back at work?

Im feeling pretty good. My incisions are healing well. I'm no longer in need of pain meds. I must admit I'm tired, which I think is because I'm not taking my vitamins correctly all of the time. I haven't gone back to work yet. I was fortunate enough to take the entire month off! Thanks for checking on me @Ir983286!

:-D congratulations
