Hi all. I had my VSG about 27 months ago, and I lost about 115.

Problem is, that I'm always always always tired. I admit that I completely fell back into old habits and that it's something I'm working on. I stopped drinking soda, and

Hi all!

Does anyone have any experience with skin removal on upper arms and have sleeve tattoos? I'm really worried about scarring and what my work will look like after.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone!

I know this must get asked a lot, so I'm sorry for repeating. ;)

The one part of me that bothers me the most is my arms. I have so much skin and I really really hate it.

I know that ins

Just wanted to share my progress. 2 years and 2 months since my VSG and I'm so happy that I made this decision. Some health issues and side effects, but overall, very pleased so far. Have some work to do still, mainly with toning and ALL of the excess

Hi all,

VSG performed in 2015.

Since then, I've had my gall bladder removed and been treated for H. Pylori. I have GERD now, and take a daily medication for reflux. I also have ulcers in my esophagus. The doctor says

Hi everyone. 

 

Im about 18 months out and have lost about 110 and I have stayed pretty much at steady weight  for a while.

 

For the past couple of weeks,  I've been having issues with my belly button. It's extremely de

Hi all! Just wanted to pop in and say hi. I hope everyone is doing well! Just wanted to share some progress pics! I feel amazing and I'm so full of confidence now! The one thing I'm a little bummed about, are my arms. They're still huge and saggy, but

Hi all!

 

I was sleeved in feb of this year. Doing great and lost 89 lbs. I lost my insurance and moved out of state, so I feel weird calling with a bunch of questions. I just wanted to know, I'm still getting sick to my stomach after e

Hi all! Just wanted to share my progress. Six months ago, I made the best decision I possibly could to save my life. I have lost 81 lbs, and I feel absolutely fantastic. Still have about 35-40 lbs to lose, but I'll get there soon. Just going to keep wo

Kind of pointless post, but I feel soooo strong and empowered when I work out and eat right. Not so much about the physical changes, which I love, but since surgery I'm just so proud of myself and love the feeling I get when I finish a good workout, I

Hi friends. I was sleeved on 2/19 of this year, and have been doing fantastic. I recently got a job where I work 12 hour shifts at a time, and switch frequently between day and overnight shift. I'm having a really hard time staying awake, having any en

Hi all! 4 months out, and I started at 5'5" and 268 lbs, weighed in this morning at 205. :) The last ten pounds or so have come off within the week... I've been in a stall for almost a month. So excited to keep losing. I am more than halfway done. I ha

Surgery was 9 weeks ago yesterday, and I'm down 44 lbs. Little on the low side, but I know it's because I'm having trouble with my water intake, but I'm working on it. The good news, is that people have started noticing, which is awesome!

Before anyone asks me to call the surgeon's office, I did, but I probably wont get an answer back until Monday or Tuesday. They're a little slow. 

I looked through ALLLL of the literature that they gave me but I can't find an answer. For the fi

I'll admit it, my family is totally unhealthy. I've been buying healthy foods, fresh produce, lean meats, etc. I end up throwing most of it away. I can literally eat 2-3 oz at a time, and everything just ends up in the trash because no one else eats it

I tried to run years ago. I was thinner than I was now, but also smoked. I tried to use the couch to 5k, where I walked for a minute, ran for a minute, etc. but I got terrible migraines and my lungs felt like exploding. I really want to try again, but

Hi all! 

I had my VGS 3 weeks ago today (doc cleared me last week to start adding soft foods back to my diet). 

 

That is going great. Question is... how many times a day am I supposed to be eating? I was sent home with a form f
