  1. I haven't had any surgery so far, I've lost 70 lbs and yes I have a lot of lose skin in my lower abdomen, my arms, and inner thighs. I was a 38 DD and it's all gone lol. I am getting weekly facials to reduce saggy face, also getting radio frequency treatment on my abdomen to make my skin stick to my muscles. This of course will not do the job but I do want to avoid a tummy tuck. I think I might just get a breast lift with augmentation. Just gotta save some money.
  2. Have you tried measuring what you eat? And do you know how many calories you consume per day? Maybe you're not eating enough.
    My husband will be having his sleeve surgery next month so I am planning on doing a pouch reset, the main reason is to help him and guide him from the start and also to help myself not stretch my tummy. Have you tried going back to basics?
  3. Hello G-doll, so sorry to hear that. How tall are you? I'm only 5'1" so I'm hoping that's where our difference is.
    To be honest I'm not doing much at this point because I feel like I'm gonna start looking ill if I continue to lose more weight. I do some cardio and eat everything. I was never able to eat without drinking at the same time so I still do it. Although I think that's the main reason why now I am hungry almost every 2 hrs. Of course I can't eat every 2 hours because of my schedule but if I have the time yes I eat every 2 hrs. Unfortunately for me, I can everything so I don't deprive myself from anything just can't eat the same amount as pre surgery.

    Hi G-Doll! Thanks for letting me know you're ok! I'm so relieved to know you are hanging in. I'm sorry you are still suffering. I hope the latest attempts work. Do the Dr.s think your health issue is related to the sleeve surgery? Have you lost a lot of weight? I imagine so. The weight is not falling off of me, but I look much better than I did before the surgery. I'm going to have to exercise more regularly. I've been having terrible insomnia that I will have to see a Dr. about. I'm glad you're doing better. Please keep in touch when you can. I hug you, Ima

    Hey G. How are you feeling? Has there been any developments since you last posted? I pray that you are fine and getting better? Have the Drs. been able to determine if your illness is related to the vsg? Please let me know how you are doing. I hug you. Ima

    G, I'm ok. I feel fine but can't seem to get enough food, protein or water. I'm worried about myself. On the more positive side, my stitches are ok. The Dr. didn't stitch up my last one but said it was very superficial and I don't need to be concerned. As fate would have it, she is a bariatric surgeon and agreed to do my after care, so I'm happy and relieved about that. Have you found anyone? That is one bad thing about going to Mexico, I guess. I have to go back to work on Monday (sad face). I'm trying to organize 5 small meals a day. I think I might have to leave all this zero calorie diet stuff alone, because I eat less than 400 calories a day. I hope that will change when I have 5 meals. Let me know if you are doing something right. It might help me do better. TTYL, Ima

    Hi G. Doll, I'll be going to a clinic at 10 & probably have my surgery this afternoon. If I can, I'll stop in & see if you're still there. Ima

    taken to surgery room now. Very scared and nervous,
    but with everyone's best wishes I know all will be ok.

Help!

by g~doll on 01-26-2017 at 01:14 AM
Hi everyone, it's been two years and a half since my surgery. I have lost @ 50 lb's that was all the first year. I believe it's because I got super sick in the beginning. I wasn't able to eat anything for months just liquids, and even that was very painful. Well, ever since I've been able to eat again, I suppose I just kind of indulged. Not eating big portions just more often and anything. My cravings are bad. I haven't lost anymore weight, but maintained it. I don't have energy to do much. I feel

Progress 21 mo VGS

by g~doll on 04-21-2016 at 09:05 AM
It's been a while since I've been on here let me tell you how I've been doing. I'm now 21 months out vsg and doing so much better. I'm able to eat & drink without the pain although it does hurt every now and then a little bit. Dr.s have different opinions as to what is causing my pain. I'm still seeing specialists and on medications. It's frustrating but like I said I'm doing so much better. I have been on a stall for a while and have now gained 15lbs. now. It was so hard to get to this point.

I'm talking about things like pudding or cream soup nothing solid yet and comes the pain. I'm scheduling with a GI this week to check, but I'm getting very tired of it. I want to enjoy my weight loss. Any ideas as to what it could be? I don't have ulcer symptoms no leaks barely any heartburn. I'm six weeks out not fun confused:

Frustrated

by g~doll on 08-23-2014 at 12:18 AM
I'm 31 days post op and I feel like I'm going insane. I be been able to take in liquids, but I should already be eating more than cream soups and jello. I still get this darn pain on my left side feels like it's my stomach or intestine after eating. It's a sharp pain and it lasts a few minutes. I'm not overeating I barely eat a couple ounces and a few minutes later here come the pain! I'm afraid to put anything solid or mushy because of this. Is it gas? Or my sleeved tummy not adjusting ? What
