Topic: RE: How much did VSG cost if you were self pay?
In America you will pay 12,000 to 17,000 and wait three months in mexico I payed 7400 but you can get it as low as 5200 and have it next week without all the BS that they do over here.

Topic: RE: 600-900 calories...are you kidding me????
Man you guys keep up with your calories better then I do. But what I have learned is you will be surprised how little food the body really needs.I just added up what I had yesterday and it was 970 to 990 calories and that's about what I have every day. I workout 5 to 6 days a week I have more energy then I have every had so I would say 600 to 700 at first when you are on your meshed and liquid diet is OK !!

Topic: RE: The hubby is psyching me out....HELP!
Tell your husband friend to kiss your but.You are making a great decision for yourself right now not for no one else .You let your man know all the benefits he will be getting from you losing the weight you will be so much more active in every way going out will be better then ever.I hate so one that talks about something they don't no what there talking about.God wants you healthy so if you do make a bad decision after surgery you can only make it 4 to 6 oz at a time not that bad of a decision.

Good Luck and make the right decision

HW-11/17/09-552 Lbs

Today-05/03/10-384 Lbs


VSG works. When I was at my heaviest I had to go weigh at place that sold grain I went there because the scale was outside and a house scale didn't go up hi enough  I could pull up get out of the car and weigh without no one knowing I can now weigh at the gym I hope I never go back to that way of life.

I love this post lets do it ever monday try not to weigh before monday.
