Just wanted to crow a little. At my year check up last summer I had reached a66% of excess weight loss goal. Currently I weigh between 172-174 down 100 pounds and a size 16 down from a size 26-28. The crowing part is my weight was exactly the same yesterday as it was six months ago. This means that while I'm not skinny I am able to maintain my weight! Yay!

Congrats! You are doing a great job. I'm hoping to have such success, thanks for sharing.

Awesome! This is my hope as well - I may never be "skinny" after surgery (but who knows?), but I'm optimistic about being able to keep off whatever I do lose. My surgeon told me that realistically, my weight will probably settle down between 150 and 170 with some possibility to go lower. At that weight, I'd still be technically overweight but a hell of a lot smaller and healthier than I am now.

Congrats! You've done amazing! You are inspiring! Keep up the great work!

Congrats! I had my 18 month check-up on Monday and I too have been maintaining for a full 6 months! That's a new record for me! My doctor has seen me lose and regain weight so many times. She was THRILLED that VSG has allowed me to maintain at goal for this long already.

Congrats. You are an inspiration!
