Everyone should come and check out the chat room. It's back up and running!

I too have a BMI of 31 and I don't at all think that surgery is too drastic. You have to remember that surgery is a tool and it is not in any means a cure all for weight loss. There is not a surgery out there that cannot be sabotaged. That explains so many revisions. Also...over the years a pouch can stretch out and you can begin to gain weight. Look at the statistics....most people lose initially and then further out they may gain 10-15 lbs. sometimes more. I say go for it! The most important thing is to find a competent doctor and to choose the right surgery for you. Good luck on your weight loss journey!

Chat room is down again.

Ok..I know you don't like greek yogurt. I don't either. I actually hate it. It tastes awful...BUT....I have made something with greek yogurt that is so delicious whenever I eat it I feel like I'm eating some kind of dessert. Take a 1oz packet of plain Quaker instant oatmeal and make it. Make sure it sits in the hot Water long enough to get sort of thick, Then get the brand Fage no fat yogurt a small 6oz. container. Mix it up really well so it is really creamy consistency. Slice some bananas into the hot oatmeal and then put the greek yogurt in there. Mix it all together. It is really good. I know it sounds atrocious but really it is good. If you try it I want to know what you think!!! And if you hate it...tell me!!!!

I think I am going to Dr. Gagner in Montreal. Who did your surgery? I had a mesh band. Do you know what the difference is and does it make it difference for the revision? Thanks!

Hi! I had a VBG 14 years ago and I am looking to have a VSG. How are you doing with the sleeve and how does it compare to the VBG? Thanks!

Hi, I have been trying to get into the VSG chat room for 2 days and I am unable to get in there. Can someone please try to get in to the chat room from their computer to see if it is just my computer or if it's the site. Thank you. I would greatly appreciate a response.

You have to come to the chat room some time!!! It is so much fun to talk to others and share experiences and learn from others. The word chat is written across the top of the website. Just click on in after you sign in and it will get you into the chat room. But not today!! Apparently something is wrong with the chat room today. Maybe try later today or tomorrow. Sometimes things can be down for a whole weekend. So keep trying!

Thank you guys so much!!! Now I know it's not my computer. The chat room is so much fun and I learn so much from others in there. I am going through chat room withdrawal!! Thanks again...guy guys are so nice to have done that for me.
