Hi, saw your post. I recently had my VSG surgery on 8/15/2014. I think my stats are very close to yours. Pre op weight 239, 5'4" (still think I am 5'5") BMI 41.0.

Today my weight was 232.5. My Husband did his sugery on 7/12/15. He is down 33lbs.

I think it would be great to have a buddy through this journey. So far all is well and feeling pretty good.

Good luck with your surgery. I blew it up more in my head than I needed to. It was actually a great experience.

Let me know what you think.

I'm Asia. 34yo, 2 boys: 14 & 2, married 10 years , min schnauzer named Salem. I am currently cooking the family Gyros while lusting over the meat and drinking my aloe water... lol help is very much appreciated.

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to check in on you. I'm not sure if you a home yet. Here's hoping all is well, and surgery and recovery are going well. Biggest piece of advice I can give you right now is drink, drink, drink. I have already found myself dehydrated. Really not used to drinking all day long. Used to just chug a glass of Water just to say that I drank water. Now it takes my significantly longer to even get down 1 glass. Literally having to remind myself to drink. Im figuring it out. When you get a chance drop me a quick note to let me know how you are doing. Also, here is my cell in case its easier to text. 480-329-1005.
