I have to say like this site. I am down 117 lbs. I have 23 lbs. to go to hit my goal. Its nice to talk to people on here with the same surgery. I always get questions.

I love to see people post here who have been successful losing large amounts of weight because they are "living proof" that it's possible to get to goal with this surgery. I am down 28 pounds and can't wait to break out of the 250's. For me, mini goals of 10 pounds each allow me to work towards realistic achievements.

I agree with you Elisabeth and I have pretty much set the same mini goals - 10 lbs a week and I'll be thrilled. As of this morning, I am down 13.6 and surgery was a week from yesterday. I know once I start on real food, that the weight loss will probably slow down a bit; however I intend to take full advantage of it for as long as I can. I'm starting my walking regime today and will be glad when I can start on weight resistance and other exercises.:001_smile:

Keep up the good work both of you. :thumbup:

Absolutely AWESOME....You have done great. I bet you have lots of stories you could tell. I'm sure we could all learn from your journey.

Super job. Good luck with the rest of your wt loss journey.

OMG Mac that is wonderful -- I think I weighed that in 1st grade! :001_tongue:

[MacMadame 81]

I'm down 107 but I'm down to 116. :001_tongue:

The last time I weighed that little was college, I think.

i am so happy for all of you. thank you for sharing your successes. i really makes me feel hopeful not only for myself but for others that are going through the same thing. it is truly amazing how strong a person can be when they have proper support systems in place. i think of the sleeve as a part of a support system and this forum too. thank you again for all your help. i don't even know you guys and i am so proud.

Monday I went for my first visit with my Bariatric surgeon who will be performing my vsg. I now have my psycological evaluation, nutritionist, sleep study and all the other tests set up. Now the battle begins with the insurance company. I am 5'0...236 lbs. I have been overweight all of my life. I am so excited about getting the vsg!!!! Will post a picture of me in :thumbup:the next couple of days.
