VSG Success! I'm HALF My Starting Weight! 18 Mos Post VSG, 3 Mos Post Round 1 Reconstructive Surgery

I am sorry I don't post much at all anymore, but I thought I would share this in hopes that it will inspire a newbie or two.  The VSG is considered "restrictive" only but it's also hormonal.  Sure I can't eat much, but it also helps not to have two much of the hunger hormone roaming around anymore!  ;) 

Anyway, since this is an important milestone, I decided to share it here.  I am less than HALF of my starting weight!!

I ramble a bit here but I also show a body shot:

(Lost slowly and painfully from 355 to 275 from 2007-2009, then started gaining again before scheduling surgery!  Best thing I ever did! :D)

you are one of the videos on youtube that convinced me to look more into VSG instead of the band. =) Glad to hear you are still doing well.
