Hello all. I am excited be on this weight loss journey. I had my VGS on July 6, 2023, so I am a less than a week post-op. I started this journey at 267 lbs- consult day. The day of surgery I was 230 lbs. My surgery went well, I spent one night in the hospital. My incisions are still sore but manageable, I feel great. Today, I weighed in at 226 lbs. I live in Florida. It is so great to have a place to share my experience and get advice. I hope I can be helpful in some way and my words can inspire someone.

This early, don't worry about being an inspiration to anyone but yourself. This can be a wild ride and you need to keep your eyes on the ball.

You are doing great so far. Keep up the good work.

I've been lurking for a few weeks so I know what you mean. I am focused on getting through the next few weeks post op- I am definitely proud of how far I've come. Thanks for the advice.

You're doing amazingly. You've got over the big hurdle - the rest will follow if you can stick to your plan. Best of luck xxx

Thank you Spinoza! I plan to follow the plan to a T as I do not want to take any chances. Reading all the stats is encouraging- yours are impressive!
