Hi all! It's been awhile since I've been here, but I had my surgery one year ago today and I wouldn't have been able to get through it without all of the support I received here. I started out a year ago at 250 lbs, size 20 and a year after VSG I am 155 lbs and a size 6! post-182263-14139000966572_thumb.jpg post-182263-14139001633318_thumb.jpg

Hey, hey! Good to "see" you too... In a nutshell, I sold my business in california, filed for divorce after a lengthy separation, and moved across country to florida, all in a span of 30 days!.... so yeah, lots of stress and now struggling with all this vsg stuff, but it's my 1 year aniversary and the perfect time to get back on track!

Congrats on your one year mark! You look beautiful. I just had mine last month also and I'm still trying to get used to the changes in my life. Shopping still confuses the heck out of me! I have no sense of "what is my size?" . I can not wrap my head around being a size 6.

I definitely look better in clothing due to all the extra skin. My docs ( 3 of them) are encouraging plastics/ Tummy Tuck for me, but I'm going to wait a bit longer. How's your skin doing? Our stats are similar (5'6" and 150 lbs at 13 months p/o.)

What a difference a year makes :)

well, if I had the money, I would have plastics, my skin isn't as good as I'd hoped for but far better than most, I am very lucky to have good, elastic skin. When I can I will at the least get my boobs done, they drive me nuts... the rest of it is what it is... since I did this to myself I can't really complain and I can't keep beating myself up over it... I will never walk around in a string bikini but I look damn good in a one piece! Also, my skin seems to get better with time :)

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
