My immediate goal is 150, hoping to reach stage 2 goal of 145 and maintain around 145-150. I’m 7 lbs from my immediate goal so I’m trying to stay motivated and keep working on it 💪🏾

Hey guys! I had vsg about 9 months ago (June 2, 2020) and I am so happy I did it!! HW 287, SW 261, and CW 158. My goal weight is 150 (so close!!), but I seem to be hitting a stall. I can’t seem to go below 154😩. Any advice? I’m so happy with the results that I just want to do everything I can to stay like this and NEVER go back to that weight! Does anyone else feel nervous about regain so early post op? Any advice from those several years out who have advice as to long-term maintenance? Any advice would be appreciated 😊

Hi! We had about the same weight stats! I’m about 9 months out from sgy and I’m down 123 lbs:) you def can get to your goal!! Good luck 🍀😊

Hmmm. I hope I’m not losing too fast too soon. My weight on the day of surgery was 261.2 and now it’s 225.2 8 weeks out. Should I be concerned?

So I’m getting concerned maybe I’m losing too much too fast? I was 261 on surgery and I’m 225 now. 😨

Hello all! So I had VSG surgery June 2nd and so far all has been going well with my recovery! No pain, tolerating my soft diet, and I’m losing weight which is amazing! But I’m starting to freak out because I’m starting to notice my skin is loosening. I knew it was going to happen, but I’m thinking if I’m already getting loosening then my skin is going to look crazy by the time I reach goal. I started at 281, lost 20 lbs before surgery, and so far have lost and additional 15 lbs. my goal is to get to 150-160 lbs. I’m currently 36 years old. Is there anything at all that I can do to minimize loose skin? Has anyone tried anything that they find works?

Hi! I had a hiatal hernia with my vsg too. I actually didn’t even know I had the hernia lol! My surgeon discovered it during surgery and repaired it at the same time. No real additional complications. Only difference was she really didn’t want me vomiting due to the hernia repair. I’m about 3 weeks out and so far so good! Good luck to you!!

I’m post op day 2 and have pain mostly to my upper abdomen because they also did a hernia repair. I’ve been able to walk around and as of yesterday I was able to tolerate the 3-4 oz an hour. I can’t wait for this discomfort to go away!

Thanks so much!! I’m so nervous! I have surgery at 2:15pm. I’m hoping this goes well too 😝 so scared lol

Hi Meow! Cool name! I’m so excited for you! My surgery is tomorrow!! So excited and scared lol!!

Hi Nikki! I’m 35 and getting sleeved next week:) I’d be happy to have a sleeve buddy to talk to!

That’s my best friend’s birthday!! Congratulations on the new date and good luck with your procedure and journey 😊!

Me too! But in NJ. Good luck with your procedure!!!

I too am June 2nd!! I also am on the pre-op diet, which isn’t as hard as I thought it would be. Main thing is trying to get in enough water considering I work nights. But I’m slowly figuring out ways to do that as well. Good luck with your procedure!! Keep in touch my surgery twin:)

Thanks so much for your advice:)
