You inspire me! Thank you for sharing. I had my VSG on February 11th. So far, so good. I started my journey in March, 2014 and started the six month insurance approval process 5/1/14. Followed Weight Watchers, tweaked by my bariatric surgeon's diet plan and lost 52# by day of surgery. During the past 11 months I was grounded by a worn out hip so very little movement was going on. Got a new hip in November and feel like a new life as well as lifestyle is in my future.
