Bridget312001 70 Posted March 26, 2014 It's been a long year with many ups and downs but I am proud to say today I finally reached my goal weight this morning. I had Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG) April 8, 2013 and over the last year I have worked hard to loose 89lbs. I started at 214lbs and am now 125lbs. VSG is not for everyone, but it worked well for me. My only advice to anyone thinking about the sleeve is to really REALLY do you homework and think about the lifelong changes YOU must make to use your sleeve to its best advantage. 11 Danni-doinit4me, Keepgoing247, atelux17 and 8 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bridget312001 70 Posted March 26, 2014 Good for you! It must feel great. Was this your personal goal or your docs? thank you Janet! :-) 125 was my goal. I never paid attention to their goal weight for the year, but I think its based on the percentage of weight you need to loose? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My only advice to anyone thinking about the sleeve is to really REALLY do you homework and think about the lifelong changes YOU must make to use your sleeve to its best advantage. How exciting it must be to be at Goal!!!!! All your hard work has really paid off!! You should be proud! Excellent advice you give to those considering VSG to really do the research. And I totally agree that it is up to the individual to use the sleeve to its best advantage. Words of wisdom! You've done beautifully!
