Take care Karen and remember to walk as much as you feel up to after your surgery and sip, sip, sip.

  Dr Ponce de Leon Mexico     VSG 4 Jun 12. I lost 57 lbs on my own before having a VSG. This is by far the best thing I have ever done for myself.

The extra skin is a definate down side of the process! I feel like I look like a wrinkled, saggy 100 year old! Oh well, nothing comes without a price I guess..

I hear you about the weird arm noise. My arms have turned out to be a pleasant surprise (as in not too flappy) but still make this funny sound in one move we do at aerobics, it sounds like one of those armpit farts my son used to make!   Sadly my pannus makes the same sound when jumping or running, so embarrassing ...... but not for long!  But I would take all of this over the pre surgical body anyday, it feels great to be healthy.
