Hi everyone

My wife has been an amazing support thru my VSG journey. She has finally decided to work on her diet and exercise and hopefully change careers.

I've suggested we both work towards a Keto lifestyle together. I know it's much

Hi there

Has anyone experienced sudden aging of their face after the surgery?

I've always had youthful skin and was often told I looked 10 years younger than I really was (I'm 38). I put this down to genetics and the fullness in my fac

Hi All,

I've just had a light bulb moment that I had slipped into old emotional eating patterns. We often do this unconsciously & maybe I've done it in the past post surgery but this was the one time I went woah nelly! & realised what was happe

One of my biggest embarrassments to do with my weight gain was the day I realised I could no longer wear my wedding rings, my fingers were just too fat. I was so proud to wear them as a symbol of my marriage and they obviously mean a lot to me.

Hi everyone 

I have done plenty of research and checked the site and I'm pretty confident I'm suffering from Gerd. I never experienced this before the surgery.

Hi everyone

Hey Joshua, You are so close now to your surgery date whoop! Whoop! I can see from your entries you have been working hard and educating yourself in the lead up. Good for you. It's gonna be a challenge (not gonna lie) but each day truly gets easier and if you stick to the program you are gonna ace this. Best wishes!
