I  have been losing  weight  and  gaining it back for years. Never had much trouble  losing  but have never been  able to  maintain  it for very long. My kidney  transplant  surgeon (I have stage 4 kidney  disease) thinks it would  help me to have vsg surgery first before I  have to have a transplant. It may possibly  improve my kidney function  and even if it doesn't , being  at a normal  weight will make my transplant  last longer. Focusing  on  the  vsg surgery  has been a good distraction  for me. Other than this kidney thing I'm in pretty good  health, which is  why  I  qualified  for the transplant  list. I'm hoping  the timing  will  work  out ,I think I'd  be afraid to do the surgeries the other  way  around . After transplants the immune  system  has to be  suppressed ,probably  harder to heal. 

288 at my highest 212 surgery day December 2,2015. Now June 2016 I'm 136.5. Best thing I've ever done
