New to forum...been looking online for something like this, sooooooooo glad I found yall!!

I had my VSG on Oct 12, 2011, 15 days out and feel great!! I had some serious doubts on days 1-3 but things gradually got better as all those before me said they would.

I never thought I would be so happy to puree up a can of Soup, glad to be out of "liquid" stage, very curious how I will handle "real" food.< /p>

I am currently on a little stall...I was happy to see that I was not alone and that this to will pass, just stick with the plan and quit beating up the scale!!

A little background, I have had "weight" issues pretty much my whole life as far as I can remember. I have yo-yo'd my weight over the years fairly substantially.

I had a stroke in June of 09, thankfully have had a full recovery. I lost some weight after that ordeal, but since have put it all back on +.

My primary doc pointed me this direction and my journey began...I have lost 35lbs so far and like I said, feel great and looking forward to progressing to "real" food!

I have 2 young daughters and look forward to spending as much time with them on this planet as I can!!!

Look forward to the info on this forum and providing any info I can!!

Congratulations! I hope to join the ranks of the successful and have a good story to tell. I am getting ready to reapproach my doctor and hope to shorten the discovery period, and getted sleeved. I hvea a son to rais and want to be a bigger part of his life. It is hard when you cannot breathe and your knees and feet hurt too much to play.

Good luck

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
