- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

8 month post op
I know I haven't posted an update in a while, but everything is amazing! I've lost about 70 lbs, I'm 10 lbs away from goal. I still struggle a bit with eating, it's almost a chore now...I'm really never hungry. Just wanted to give a little update and post an updated pic. Life is good, absolutely no regrets having the VSG.
3 Month Post Op
I had my 3 month visit today with my surgeon and I've lost 42 lbs, I was thinking it would have been more by now, but she assured me that I am right on track. According to their goal I only have 34 lbs to go! My goal says 48 to go, so we'll just see where I fall.
I've noticed much more energy, no lower back pain, all around good mood which has me back to taking care of myself-new fun haircut, clothes that fit, (no baggy shirts and pants trying to hide myself), and I'm doing my hair and make up more:)
Also had a little ego boost while leaving my appointment today...a man was chatting with me in the parking garage and said, "By the way, you're extremely beautiful." I was completely caught off guard and thought "he can't be talking to me." It has been ages since I've gotten a compliment from a complete stranger! I'll take it!
Anyway, everything is good. Food is boring, still a lot of things I can't eat comfortably - rice, bread, potatoes. So I don't and just stick to mostly meat, cheese, veggies.
I hope everyone is doing well on their journeys!

2 Months Post
Well the weight loss has slooooooowed. I was in a 2-3 week stall, that was beyond frustrating. But I'm starting to lose again and I'm down 36 pounds. My personal goal was to hit 40 at the 2 month mark, pretty close.
I started out in a tight size 18 and now I'm in a comfortable 14. I have 54 lbs to my final goal. Which seems so attainable now, when I knew I had to lose 90 it seemed impossible.
My eating is pretty boring, which is good I guess. I have an egg for breakfast, protein and salad for lunch, and more meat and veggies for dinner. For snacks I usually have some almonds and a string cheese.
I made the mistake of having a bite of rice about a week ago. Horrible, horrible pain followed. I won't be doing that again!
I need to increase some physical activity! I've been bad about that.
So things are going pretty well, hoping I'm out of the dreaded stall!!!
