Best decision I ever made



Recommended Posts

On 3/6/2012 I had VSG surgery and yes, it was the best decision I ever made. My life has changed soo much and all for the good.

I exercise every day

I can bend over and tie my shoes

I can cross my legs

I no longer need seat belt extender on airplanes

I can wear heels

I wore a dress for the first time in 8 years 2 weeks ago

I went hiking with my grand kids yesterday and we had to stop for rests because THEY were tired, not me!

I have soo much energy

I feel good about myself again

I went from a size 24-26 to a 12

I fit in a booth at restaurants

I can mow my own grass(dont have to hire someone to do it this year)

I could go on forever about the benefits of this surgery, instead let me just show you

You look so amazing!!! I am only 3 months out but I love my sleeve as well. 67 pounds down in 3 month I would have never been able to do this without my sleeve. Yay you and everyone else on this journey.

Congratulations. I feel the exact same way, never realized I could feel like this and how much I was missing out on due to my size and trying to avoid doing things.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
