Hi Neil, I did have the VSG on 4/28/2017, and Dr. Castro was my surgeon. He is with DFW Bariatric Institute (formally Kim Bariatric Institute. It was very frustrating be a patient during their transition, but only insurance/paperwork wise. My surgery was awesome. Dr. Castro took very good care of me and I recovered very quickly. I have lost 103 lbs, and I'm only 7 lbs from my goal weight! Please let me know if you have any other questions.

I am doing great! I have lost 58 lbs and just 2 lbs from onederland!! People are starting to notice my weight loss and that makes me feel good (I didn't tell many people about my surgery). I'm wearing clothes that I haven't worn in years. The best part is the energy! I haven't had this much in energy in so long. It feels amazing!!!

My smaller fat clothes are starting to fit! Sent from my SM-G930P using BariatricPal mobile app

One week post op, down another 7 lbs for a total of 27 lbs lost all together! Sent from my SM-G930P using BariatricPal mobile app

I made it! I'm feeling pretty good. Just a little bit of pain. Looking forward to feeling normal again. :-)

Getting ready to head to the hospital. Surgery s/b around 11:30. I'm ready to go war with this weight for the last time. See you guys on the losers bench!!!!

My husband had VSG back in October 2015 and went home the same the day. He was completely fine. He just had to focus on taking sips of water and walking. I am scheduled for VSG this Friday and it will be outpatient. I asked my surgeon how he felt about it and he said that research shows people rest/recover better at home.

Mothers of multiples rock! I am always joking around that I'm trying to lose my "baby weight" (my twins are 12) lol

How did your surgery go?

My surgery is 4/28 and I am 5 days into my pre-op liquid diet. It has been harder than I thought. I'm fine till I see or smell food and then my mouth starts watering. I finally got my energy back last night which was really nice. It is getting a little easier as the days go on. I'm just so excited about my surgery next Friday!

I am officially an April Sleever! My surgery date is 4/28!!!

I start my 2 week liquid diet next Friday. Yikes! I know everything will be a challenge, but I am ready to leave my obese life behind and start my new healthy life. Good luck with your surgery and welcome to group!

Thank you! I will be sure to check out your YouTube channel!

Thanks to everybody for taking some time to leave me a comment! It means a lot to hear from you!!
