Met with Dr. John Vonkersburg... he was great... his office staff were very friendly and I was so pleased. He was friendly and informative. I got a fill and so far I am doing really well. I have been logging all my food on the livestrong websit and following a great diet. I feel good about myself again for getting back on track. Thank you so much for asking.

Just checking in and seeing how everyone is doing. Waiting to hear from the dr regarding blood tests and should be going back in about a month to follow up and see how I am doing. I refuse to get on a scale until then. Again hoping that all is going well. I do feel the difference since the 1/2 cc fill so I guess that is a good thing.

I'm doing good. Just had my hiatal hernia and band repositioning surgery yesterday. Just chilling out and healing. Avoiding the scale for a few days until all the IV fluids leave my body. Haha.

Hope you feeling better real soon. I totally understand avoiding the scale until all the fluids leave. I remember after the surgery I ended up weighing more then when I first went in and I was really really upset about that. I don't recall the dr at that time telling me that would happen..

Feeling even better today. Until I had a sneezing fit. OUCH!! Lol.

No hunger, no desire to eat. Forcing liquids down. I love this no hunger. Wish it would last forever. I have pictures from my surgery on my blog. My surgeon made copies for me. Pretty cool.

I am doing really well. Today I feel almost back to normal (just slight pain when I take a deep breath now). Finally dropping more weight again too... only 3 pounds from twoderville. Woot!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
