SVs and NSVs at 3.5 Months Out



Recommended Posts

Hi All -

Normally, I lurk and respond to posts, especially to offer encouragement.

Today, I want to share some successes for me. It was an incredible day. Almost brought tears to my eyes.

I am a 56 yr old male. VSG surgery on 16-April-2015. Heavy Weight right before surgery 2-week preop diet was 387 lbs.

Some notable SVs and NSVs to share:

SV --- Today I was so excited to see my weight was ... 299. Down 88 lbs since my surgery. I honestly do not remember the last time I weighed in the 200's. I suspect 15+ years ago.

NSV --- Just this last week, I was amazed to find that my pants size is down from 60 to 50. Thats so hard to believe!!!!

The bottom line here is that VSG works, and can work fantastically!!!!!!

That is awesome to hear! Congratulations. :) It is those sorts of wins that make all of this worth it. Have fun shopping for new clothes. Just don't spend too much as you will probably shrink out of those as well. :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
