    Hi Kerry! Well I think you're probably out of surgery by now, but I wanted you to know I'm thinking about you! And your surgery buddy, too. :) I hope we hear from you soon!!

    I'll be praying that all goes well for you and for your friend. It's a challenge at times, but it will be worth it! Things are about to change. It's the end of the world as you know it, but the begining of something better!

Hi All, 
After investigating every surgery, every possibility, every detail, I decided WLS was going to happen for me.  I chose the VSG, and my surgeon agreed.  I learned so much from the VSG Board.  I love this Board!  Whoever thought obesity could be such a bonding experience.  
I had my VSG on 7/30/2007.  It was 70 minutes.  No problems, no pain, no nausea!  I was pyched by the afternoon!  One night in the hospital.  I can't say enough good things about my surgeon and hospital!  The first week was a breeze.  Tylenol here and there.  Soup, yogurt, tea, water.  I was walking, doing housework, fixing food for the kids, etc.  No hunger!! Hooray!!

Short version of my story
on March 25, 2007 10:14 pm

I'm 43, married, and have two girls 9 and 7 years old.  I am active and  happy.  My doctor says that I'm one of the healthiest morbidly obese people he has ever met!  ( I think that's a good thing!? )
I have been on a diet since first grade.  In second grade I weighed more than the teacher!  I've been on as many diets as all of you and Oprah.  I am good at losing weight.  Not at all good at keeping it off.  Right now, I need to do both!  ( BMI pushing 40 )
Last year, I trained for and completed the Disneyland half-marathon.  Funny thing happened after walking 30 to 40 miles a week  for a year.... all tolled, I gained two pounds!!!!  That's when I really figured something was wrong, and I needed to start searching out alternatives.
Onward!
