Thankful!

I just have to say, I am thankful everyday that I was able to have the VSG! For over 30 years I struggled with weight issues. Each "diet" attempt I would lose approximately 15 pounds each time through painstaking effort. Then I would regain that and more. Eventually gaining to 253. At 5'3" that was not a good thing! The sleeve has enabled me for the first time to consistently lose. 10 months out I am 107 lbs down!

This is not an "easy fix". As time goes along I am able to eat larger volumes without getting uncomfortable. I have slipped and eaten cake and Cookies a few times. The mental challenge is still there. But the sleeve helps me to put the brakes on before I binge. I am still miserable if I overeat!

For those of you at the beginning of your journey - hang in there! I think you'll find it was well worth it! Cake doesn't taste nearly as good as getting into a size 12 feels!!!
