I had a hiatal hernia repair and vsg surgery on 03/26/14 and today I had lost 41 lbs since surgery and am down 3 pant sizes. It's tough and I'm hungry most of the time, and I always have that fear or failing but right now I'm happy and I'm working very hard. Maybe it was the cash out of my pocket that has me motivated not sure but I pray I have continued success. Good luck to everyone and best wishes.

That is so great that you have her love and support. I imagine for anyone going at it alone it is tough especially those first weeks of recovery. My husband has been a dream of a supporter. He really helped me along the whole decision process, went to the classes, and in recovery. Then this weekend we got ready for a wedding and his pants are too big because he is of pretty normal stature a little overweight. Now he has really toned up and lost about 15. He said he now realizes we just don't need to consume so much food. We both feel so much better physically.
