Hi I'm Cindy and I had my VSG done February 2010. I was like so many others starting that journey 12 years ago with many questions, fears, and anxieties. It took time but within 2 years I went from 199 to my lowest of 128. Of course as time went by, so did my discipline. I remembered seeing people in the pre-surgery nutrition classes desperate again to get another procedure because they gained back all the weight and I wondered, wow how could this happen. Well here I am years later, 10 lbs away from my pre-surgery weight feeling terrible and asking the same question, how could I fail again? For sure I know my procedure worked and was restrictive enough, however I wasn't with my habits. I figured I needed to go back to square one when it all began and get engaged with a support community of others who understand the highs and lows. I think it's necessary not to dwell in my pity, but instead to be proactive in a commitment to change. I have been inspired so far just reading other posts and I'm thankful to everyone for sharing your stories, questions, fears, and concerns.
