I’m new to this forum, but had surgery on September 26, 2018. I’m 40.

Welcome! Hope you’re doing well!

I’m 42. I was 41 when I had my VGS. I’m feeling great & 100 pounds lighter with less than 10 pounds left to lose.

I have no regrets & am glad I did it when I did. I’ve no desire to have done it sooner. I believe it was done in God’s perfect timing when my mindset was ready to embark on this journey & maintain the weight loss.

Now that I am officially post surgery, I'm thinking I should have maybe done this earlier. My pain tolerance isn't what it used to be. 🙄

I’m so glad you shared this. I’m working to get to this point. I’m six weeks post-op now, and I’m a slow healer (always been this way) but looking forward to a year from now and encouraging others.

Congratulations to you and BEST wishes on continued and lifelong success.

I’m with you! I’m 44 and at first I thought, “man, I wish I’d done it sooner when i was younger, single, had hair 😂, etc.” but honestly, I don’t think it was God’s will for me then. He kept me healthy in spite of my excessive weight and up until last year, I had no intentions of having the surgery. And now, my mindset is clearly changed for the better. I’m eating way healthier, working out regularly and I’m just 10lbs away from meeting my goal. For me, God’s timing was the best timing!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
