New to the site. Here's my story.
I got a Lap-Band in 2007. I lost 100 pounds, mostly so that I could have both knees replaced. After that surgery was complete, I started gaining weight in spite of the band. Finally, this summer, my surgeon said, "I don't think the band is working for you." Good thought! So, after some careful study and consideration, I had my VSG last Monday. I'm feeling pretty good. My only pain is on my left side. It gets me pretty well once in a while, but other than that all is well. And thus begins a new journey.
