Hey is there anyone getting their VSG around the end of February? Would love to chat with people who will be post op at the same time.

Like some of the women, I struggled with "to have surgery or to not have surgery." I have been contemplating surgery for over 10 years, probably close to. Do I think this will be a magical cure to my obesity? No. Do I think that my food cravings will go away? Possibly. Is this going to be an easy fix? Heck no it's not! I know that I didn't gain all this weight over night and it sure isn't going to come off over night. I truly believe that through God, prayer, and an amazing support system, I will be able to do great at this. Do I think I will be a size 2? No. Heck, I'd be happy at a size 14/16. If you go into this thinking you will be able to eat everything as before, just smaller portions, you are potentially setting yourself up for failure. I know that I won't be able to eat 1/2 of the food I currently fix. Not all the food I fix is unhealthy, my problem is portion control.

I agree it is all how you set your mind to it. Yes, I may have a set back here or there, but you know what? I'm human. The next day is a new day and I will try again. We will all do great. We can't allow ourselves to think anything less.

I don't have a date yet but I will be very close to then. I have my pre op appointment February 11th but I've already completed my blood work and stuff! Hoping for that first week in March.
