Hi Joan!

I'm 48 and just a few hours south of you in the Southwest! I' m one year post op and would love to connect and chat!

I'll send you a message!

Hi guys! Now I haven't had my surgery yet, I have to dietary classes to go and they're supposed to give me a date. But today I'm feeling kind of down and as if that day will never come! Have you ever felt like you're just waiting for your life to happen and life goes really slow to get there.

@celticNgel - I get it. It's hard to wait. I'm 14 months out. Had VSG on 8/23/2016. My program didn't have a time period you had to wait but I saw my surgeon the first time on May 11 and had surgery on August 23. Those three months were the longest time, ever. I was 271.5 in April 2016. I'm 169 right now and I think I'd like to lose another 15 pounds. (I'm very busty so I think I'll loo weird any smaller.) This has been life changing. Keep your eye on the prize. You've got this.
