I have some on my arms, stomach and upper thighs but it is nothing compared to what i thought it would be. It has mostly bounced back. My biggest problem so far has been lack of energy. I don't get enough Protein so i am constantly tired. Also I bruise EXTREMELY easily. There are a hundred little problems but it is nothing compared to my fat problems.. if ya know what i mean.

No I dont think so. Maybe much later in life but right now i am pretty okay with it. Plus I don't have insurance so i paid out of pocket for my vsg. There is nothing left at all for plastic surgery

Do you by any chance have a recliner? I thought it was SO much easier to sleep there than the bed. Even the couch felt better to me than my bed because i could arrange the pillows to support me almost upright.
