Sure. My surgery was 5/12/14. Date of surgery I was 237. Today I was 121. I initially had VSG but converted to RNY on 7/1/16 because of out of control acid. If you have any other questions, please let me know!

I am in nor cal. Central coast. But I am a dinosaur with a lap band (12/06)

I am happy to see others doing Wls. It is the best move I ever made.

I lost about 100 lbs. now 90. But about once a year I get to the 100 lb loss again

It is a daily process and Protein and Water and exercise seemed to be my trilogy. I am embarrassed to say I seem to have to pay my exercise trainer to keep me going. (I just don't put it first when I don't)

Keep posting. Us veterans love to see the changes!!

I'm in Nor Cal. Sleeved yesterday at

Kaiser Richmond. Great program. Didn't have a 12 week class but they do have additional classes they have you take if

you are having a hard time losing the weight they require pre surgery. My hubs and I started the process the same day and he was sleeved two months from the day we started and I was 2.5 weeks after him.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
