So today is Day 1 of my liquid diet and last night I had a mini food funeral like many people do. Not too terrible but one last coke, burger, and cheese tot. Last night as I went to sleep I literally dreamed of food!!! In my dream I was on the liqui

Does everyone have lose skin after VSG simply do to the rate of how fast the weight is lost? Has anyone had a success story where they don't have much lose skin? Or, should I expect that I will have it, everywhere. I am only 36 but know my arms and
