I had VSG in 2010 and it wasn't very successful. My VSG surgeon did believe that there was indeed an issue with my sleeve. I wasn't as restricted as many other people and was in the process of a revision (in 2012), but I ended up moving and no longer was covered by insurance. In combination with my sleeve issues, I'm also partially to blame. I was 20 years old and did it for the wrong reasons. I wanted to be "thin." I didn't realize it was such a huge deal and such a blessing to have it covered by insurance. Shortly after, I started dating (my now husband) and started going out to eat and drink often. I lost about 50 pounds with the surgery and got discouraged that I didn't lose much so I started regained the weight over the years. 
I'm older now (almost 28), married, and have a different mind set. My husband and I want kids and I want to be healthy for myself and my future. I feel so strongly about doing this the right way, yet I give in to a few extra almonds, an extra string cheese, etc. I feel disappointed in myself and have been trying to take it day by day.
