Onederland, my turn! - It's official, I believe I can claim this now since, for the past 4 days, I have weighed in at 198. :) Yeah!    

Sick of being sick - I had my VSG on 12/16.  All was well, and I was doing great until 3 weeks ago.  Got influenza A (yes, I was vaccinated) and was SICK.  Ended up in the ER a week later with respirat...

What are you hopeful for? Pre-ops, post-ops, and m - We're all in different stages of the game, but I am curious to hear others' responses no matter where you are in this process. I have 2 + months until my surgery, and have b...

Anyone had touble with their primary care physicia - I will be seeing my primary care physician in August, and plan to talk to him about VSG.  I am nearly 100% sure he will be very opposed.  He's of the mindset that weight loss is...
