5 years ago today was my VSG. What a journey. I'd do it again in a blink. I'm forever grateful. I had regain, had a health scare and got back on track. Lost my regain. Even though I have about 25 lbs to go until my plastics, I KNOW I would have never done this on my own. I am almost without the words of gratitude to my surgeon and team. Although my insurance changed and I can't see him anymore, I think about my experience all the time. It seems like yesterday. So much has happened since then, but WOW what an incredible time I've had.

Great to hear from a vet who has achieved success with weight loss and achieving long term maintenance, thank you, and best wishes for achieving your ultimate goals!

Yes, thank you for sharing. Hearing from long-term vets is very inspiring!

Oh wow! Totally missed this thread! Congrats on 5 years and for inspiring me in the early days! I adore that you've been so successful addressing the regain and are living well!!

Best to you! Thanks for the refreshing update of life. Totally agree - and the next 5 will be great with perhaps some trials and many victories.

Congratulations, and continued success.

Life is something. Full of those swings. Ups and downs.
