elmatador 167 Posted November 30, 2018 Well, almost exactly 6 months post op (VSG 6/1) I weigh less than 200 pounds for the first time since...since I don’t know! College probably? Feel great, no longer stressed about getting my Protein. At the gym 2 or 3 days a week, actually enjoy working out! Down 86 pounds, 10 inches in my waist (size 46 to 36), no longer snore, and have so much more confidence. My wife and kids are proud of me, for the hard work I’ve done and continue to do, and for taking care of myself. I’m off all meds, only taking Vitamins (instead of 2 blood pressure meds). My work is scheduling new professional photos for me because I don’t look like the person in my old pics anymore. I always figured I’d be obese forever because I lacked willpower’s. I kinda figured this would fail too, despite my best efforts. But VSG does work - at least, it sure has for me! 9 3 Hrsnjs, nenes78, Wanda247 and 9 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karl A 2 Posted November 30, 2018 Congrats! I was told by my surgeon that I probably won't reach onederland. I was informed I'd probably settle in the 220 area. I'm pretty determined to prove him wrong though 2 elmatador and ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
