Another Mus****ch!
Thanks for posting this Keith. I really haven'****ched any You Tube videos about VSG (other than actual surgeries when I was preop). I needed a little motivational burst today, and I am getting it from this guy (I decided to start with his first video and work my way through). I am not brave enough to do any videos, but I am glad others have!
Hey Keith, thanks. The key is to be honest to yourself, family and caregivers. I wasn't. My surgery date was 11/18/11. By the end of February of 2012, I could no longer comfort my self with food, but I figured my stomach had healed enough that I could with alcohol, and the lowest volume way was vodka with a little crystal light -- low calorie :-)! It took off like a rocket and literally followed my comfort eating patterns, but I told no one for ten months. I told no one until everyone figured it out, only this time I wasn't fat, I was a drunk. I just got my 30-day chip at AA and am as proud of that as I am of my VSG. Just be honest with yourself and seek help wherever you need it. People will always be willing to give it without judgment.
