Ashley27 2 Posted May 4, 2012 In June it will be a year since my VSG. I reached my goal about 7 months after surgery. I am currently 10 pounds under my goal weight as of now. I am super happy with my sleeve and would do it all over again! I am from Ohio and Dr. Trace Curry was my surgeon. If anyone has any questions at all just ask! I love to help! Good Luck!

Ashley27 2 Posted May 4, 2012 I was 5'7 and 250 on my surgery date. I am now 140 today. I don't want to lose any more weight. It will be a year June 30th. And yes it is very frustrating in the beginning but trust me you will continue to lose and reach ur goal! I always focused on my Water and protein! My favorite Snacks are peanuts, string cheese and yogurt. I still can't eat very much at a time so I focus on eating several times a day. I have had a breast lift and implants and arm lift. I plan to have a lower body lift in September. I had a lot of excess skin! Sorry if I forgot something....lol just ask! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NancyJerry 139 Posted May 4, 2012 Hi Ashely! How awesome for you!! Ok...so you said ask, so I've just got to....How much did your breast lift cost? Mine are getting pretty saggy and I've only lost about 35 pounds! I figure by the time I'm done I'm going to be strapping the ladies down with my belt at my waist!

Ashley27 2 Posted May 4, 2012 I had it done by Dr. Kurtis Martin in Cincinnati Ohio and it was about 6k with lift and implants. I did saline because I still had a lot of breast tissue left. So that made it a little cheaper. The hospital and anesthesiologist was what cost the most lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
