Amanda D Greeson 15 Posted June 14, 2013 Hi everyone my name is Amanda and I have been struggling with my weight sense I was 17 years old so 14 years now. I have tried countless diets, weight loss pills, exercise you name it I have tried it to no success. I have researched weight loss surgery for about 6 years now and have finally decided to take that step. I am scheduled to have the VSG done by Dr. Alvarez on August 9th I am super excited and nervous at the same time but I know this is the right step. I am also glad I have a good support system my husband is great about it all even though he won't be going with me (someone has to stay home with our 4 girls ). My mom had the VSG done 6 years ago with the same Dr so she will be going with me. Well I jus wanted to introduce myself and say Hi. 2 LiggleLiggle and Caaattt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

solymarmivida 14 Posted June 20, 2013 I am new too and will be having the surgery with Dr Alvarez on Aug 6th! Are you excited? Nervous? It seems like one minute I am so excited as I have been waiting for this for a long time but then the next I find myself having doubts and have to turn that negative switch off. How has your mom done since her surgery? 1 Amanda D Greeson reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
