    Default 6 Months/26 Weeks Postop VSG

    Okay, so first off....I don't know how to calculate. Do we go by months, i.e. I had surgery on 5/7 so today is 11/7 so that means I'm 6 Months postop? But if I count by weeks, i.e. it's been 26 weeks (and 2 days). Either way....I have lost EIGHTY-FOUR pounds since my surgery on 5/7/18.

    Wowza!

    I have an appointment next week on 11/13 for my 6-month check up with my surgeon. His goal, last time I saw him, was for me to be under 200 pounds. Check!


    I am feeling FANTASTIC....down a total of 120 pounds from my highest weight! I have gone off medications for pre-diabetes and have just dosed down again on my blood pressure meds as I've been running too low. The health I have gained in these last 6 months has been great. With a poor family history of diabetes and heart disease, I know I have lengthened my life in taking the step to have surgery. This is very important to me as my father, whom I love & miss dearly, died too young from obesity-related illness.


    Just wanted to share my excitement at another milestone. Thanks to you all for your encouragement along the way.

    Wowza is right.
    You are doing great, 84 pounds!
    Awesome!
    English is not my first language anymore, so I may and do make mistakes in my spelling, or say things oddly. Please ask me, if you want any clarifications.
