It's been a long year with many ups and downs but I am proud to say today I finally reached my goal weight this morning. I had Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG) April 8, 2013 and over the last year I have worked hard to loose 89lbs. I started at 214lbs and am now 125lbs. VSG is not for everyone, but it worked well for me. My only advice to anyone thinking about the sleeve is to really REALLY do you homework and think about the lifelong changes YOU must make to use your sleeve to its best advantage.

Good for you! It must feel great. Was this your personal goal or your docs?

Congratulations to you! Truly an accomplishment and an inspiration to those of us pursuing this surgery.

Congratulations!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!! I can't wait to get to my goal!

thank you Janet! :-) 125 was my goal. I never paid attention to their goal weight for the year, but I think its based on the percentage of weight you need to loose?

Congratulations to you! Truly an accomplishment and an inspiration to those of us pursuing this surgery.

Thank you PKdvm, having the surgery was the best, hardest, most worthwhile thing i have ever done for myself.

How exciting it must be to be at Goal!!!!! All your hard work has really paid off!! You should be proud!

Excellent advice you give to those considering VSG to really do the research. And I totally agree that it is up to the individual to use the sleeve to its best advantage. Words of wisdom!

You've done beautifully!

Congratulations!

Awesome! What would be your top ten tips?

Congratulations!! That is awesome!!

So happy for you. You are such an inspiration!

Oh Mickally you are making me blush. I'm not inspirational material. Just plain simple bulldog me digging my heels in until I get what I want. :-)
