i am having my surgery on july 3rd i was just looking for people that have been out 5 years or more and how they are doing

Hi Linybabes, I'm 5 1/2 yrs out & so is a good friend of mine. We did VSg on the same day!

I just posted something earlier, scroll down a little. "Vets & Weight Gain" ~ Can we have an Honest disscusion~"

I share what's been going on.

Good luck with your surgery & wishing you the best!

I'm almost 6 years out and doing well. I have to be extremely careful about regain, but so far, so good!

I am 4.5 years out. Does that count? 

I'm doing great. I lost all my weight in the first year. I lost more than I expected to and it's been a lot easier to keep it off too. I think that's because I got into endurance sports early on and that boosted my metabolism. Or maybe it just would have happened. Who knows? LOL

Anyway, I crashed my bike 1.5 years ago and bonked my head and had to stop working out for a while. That led to a 10 pound weight gain for various reasons but my head is a lot better now and I'm doing some light working out and that weight has pretty much fallen back off.

I find that it's a lot easier to make good choices when you aren't hungry all the time and I find I eat pretty healthy most of them time and am not interested in a lot of crap that I used to eat. I still have fun and enjoy food though!

thank you so much and yes 4.5 yrs helps me i was just looking for people who had the surgery and how they were doing
