Hello I have a few questions. 😊 I'm on my journey for VSG and i'm a very private person so i haven't really told anyone about this journey besides my parents.

Did you have a lot of mood swings after this surgery? Did anyone treat you differently after getting this surgery?

What advice do you have for a 22 year old getting this surgery??😊

Hey Girl 😁

First of all congrats to making this first step. Yeey! Believe me it will be so worth it. I'm 23 years old and hand gastric bypass surgery a month ago. I was't sure who I should tell either but in the end it's easiest to just own it. People are gonna comment on your new eating habits anyway. I figured with my friends knowing it would just be easier for me to follow the rules and have a support system. But the most important thing is that YOU feel comfortable.

You do you and you will be proud no matter what :)

I'm nowhere near 22 anymore, but I'm with @Honeybee22 You don't owe anyone a darn thing. Tell who you know in your heart needs to know. This journey is about you, no one else and if they can't accept that you're doing this to improve your health, then I wouldn't consider them a person worthy of being your friend. That's just my old person opinion LOL It's tougher when you're younger. I get that. If you work with or go to school with a small group of people, it'll be obvious eventually. People will begin to ask what you've done to look so good.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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
