I missed my 3 month surgiversary on the 7th. So, I'm playing catch up. I'm down 4 pant sizes, down from 2X shirts to a L, and my bra went from 42DD to 38D. I have a lot more energy and I'm generally in a better mood. Most importantly for me, my blood pressure, cholesterol and fasting sugars all returned to normal and I was able to stop taking my arthritis meds for now. 70 pounds made a world of difference.  If you're thinking about having VSG, go for it. I would have never accomplished this without it and without this board. Have a great day!

Great to hear, and congrats.  70 lbs in 3 months????  I'm still in the beginning stages…..research really.  I have always been petrified of surgery, but the more positives I read, the more I think I *CAN* do this!  Thanks for sharing.
