I had VSG on Dec 14,2012 I never in a million years thought that it would help me as much as it has.  I have lost 86 lbs and have gone from a size 28 to a size 18. The transformation is AMAZING!!! I am still having a hard time realizing that i am getting smaller and my wonderful husband keeps me going. It is shocking to realize that my nieces and nephews can finally wrap their arms around my waist, and they are so excited about it.   I have so much more energy now, zumba 2xs a week and walking daily.  almost all of my IIH symptoms have stopped, my Neuro is very happy with the results and has lowered all of my meds.  I have gone from taking 16 different pain meds to function everyday down to ZERO!!!!!  sometimes i think i eat a little more than i should, but other times i don't think i eat enough.  I am very strict about what i eat and have slipped a few times, i paid for that dearly made me very sick when i ate a fried chicken strip.  I am still not comfortable taking body pics, maybe one day that will change.  To everyone who has already gone through WLS, keep up the great work.  To all of the ones looking to have WLS, do your homework.  Know what you are getting into and realize that this a TOOL, you have to do all of the work for this to be successful.  I had a very easy recovery, but the mental part is extremely hard but at the same time the results and benefits have having this done are so worth it.
