Hey just realized yesterday was my 7 year vsg anniversary. My doctor had originally set my goal weight as 130 to 140. I am at 133. I had accidentally lost more weight than I wanted to and got down to as low as 117, was stable at about 123 for years and have picked up about 10 pounds in the last couple of years. I really gotta watch that creep up and maybe shed a few but all in all I consider myself successful at this. My high weight was 247 and life is good without that blubber. Yay me. Diane S.

Wow! So it can be done! It's good to be reminded that VSG is sustainable long-term. Congrats.

Well looks like your surgeon was right. The thing I like best about a stable weight is you can actually wear out clothes!

Yay You
