    Thanks, I actually had my surgery date changed because I was scheduled for a lap-band on the 19th and wanted to change to the sleeve. My insurance wasn't covering the sleeve until three weeks ago. I haven't received a new surgery date yet since I will not have my EGD until the 28th of June. Another month of waiting...

    Thank you! Everything was wonderful! Aside from one of my nurses, I had an excellent experience!

    Hey there! I'm very confident in Dr. Hoehn, I have spoken to a few people who have went through his office and have yet to hear one negative thing about him.. I'm so excited! Thank you!

One year Surgiversary!

by Garystevanus on 04-12-2014 at 07:18 AM
Yesterday was the one year anniversary of my VGS surgery, and what a year it has been! I am 185 pounds lighter and my waist is 18 inches smaller!!!! I can't say that it has been easy, but it is definitely worth it!

It is amazing how much can change in a year!
1. My body doesn't ache at the end of the day
2. I don't dread going up a flight of stairs
3. I look forward to working out (and get grumpy when I don't make it to the gym
4. My favorite food

Starting over.........kind of.........

by Garystevanus on 03-10-2014 at 02:07 PM
I'm 11 months post-op and am down 180 pounds to date. My loving wife, who was a great support to me through my process, began hers today. She is now resting comfortably in the hospital room with her new sleeve!!!!! I did the 2 week pre-op liquid diet with her (and lost 6 pounds myself). I'm looking forward to helping her through the journey and know that she will do great!!!!

First weigh-in 3 1/2 weeks

by Garystevanus on 08-25-2013 at 08:34 AM
I weighted in last night for the first time since my last doctor'sappointment 3 1/2 weeks ago. I was hoping to see the scale drop 7 or 8 pounds. Instead, I dropped almost 18!! I guess the stall/slow down is officially over!

I have been working out and have been really focusing on not eating carbs, but I definitely didn't expect to see that on the scale! Now down 121 pounds since starting the journey with my first doctor'sappointment appointment back in March.

Update after 3 month check-up

by Garystevanus on 07-31-2013 at 07:52 PM
Had a 3 month check-up with doctor today. Lab tests are all good except HDL/LDL Cholesterol ratio could be better. Good Cholesterol is too low, but total cholesterol number is great. Scale update: I have officially lost 103 pounds (including close to 30 on pre-op liquid diet). Still have a long ways to go, but I love my new sleeved life!!!!!

To all of you sleeves out there -- keep up the hard work. We are all going to enjoy our healthier lives!!
