WORTH IT
Hellooooooo Sleevers, Current and soon to be!!!!
I hope all has been well and everyone is still on the journey and doing well. I have finally started my new Youtube channel to share my VSG Journey. Over the past almost 5 years post op I have found myself answering the same questions over and over again, sharing my journey with so many. And I do it effortlessly and joyfully. I figure it would be of great help to all who cross my path to start making videos so I can answer questions and continue to share my weight-loss journey with more than just those I encounter face to face or on social media. I am still doing well and currently holding steady @130 lbs which is an ideal weight for me. Years later I'm so grateful and thankful to have made the decision to have VSG Surgery. I haven't yet had any cosmetic surgery as I have found it not to be a top priority for me. I'm too busy enjoying the life I have now. Feel free to join me on new Youtube Channel, VSG Chronicles and/or email me your questions or comments to vsgchronicles@gmail.com . I enjoy sharing with others and encouraging them along their journey as I will never forget how it all started for me and there were many who encouraged me along the way. It is time for me to give back in a way that will bless many more lives for years to come. Attached to this updated post are a few current pics. I continue to wish you all much success on you journey and I welcome any updates from alumni sleevers. I would love to know how you all are doing. See ya soon! Blessings n Love to all!

I don't get on much these days but ever so often I like to give you all an update on my WLS results to keep you encouraged. I'm having the time of my life!

Thank you Linnnie! It's great looking back on where I started from to now. My children are very proud of me but for some reason my babygirl is always offering me food. Lol. Comments like these make me so glad I chose to share my journey.

Hi Sophie and Congrats on your weightloss! Don't let the wigd fool ya, I've had the same issue with my hair breaking and shedding. It's getting better now but then I am focusing on protein hair and food products. From what I've heard your hair will get stronger and stop shedding after one year post op so I tried not to worry about it. Thank you for commenting. Hair or no hair I'd do it all over again in a heart beat. Get that protein in. You'll be just fine. Best wishes on your continued successful!
