Checking in 3 and a half years out
Well time flies! I have not been on boards for some time, seems like life gets in the way. Im now a Texas gal up in Ft Worth not in LA but love it up here. It is strange though because the people here did not know the overweight me. What they see now to them is the normal me. Seems like every time I go home though someone will ask if I am still losing and tell me to stop (I have been in the same 5 lb range for almost 2.5 years now) I do have to watch the junk food. I seem to crave it when I travel and with the 8 hours between here and home I am on the road a while eveyr 4-6 weeks. it has been a little bit of a battle this past year keeping myself in check for the travel time. Early this year I went up to 138 and panicked. Im back to the 135 lb point again and really want to drop back to the low end of my weight about 132 I look the best between 130-135 but feel better when I have a litte cushion from the 135 although its mostly phycolgical Life is so much better at goal but I still need plastics. DH was out of work for 6 months and we moved 2 times in the past year so plastics are not in the budget yet. Hope in a year or so I can have the overhaul I want but in the mean time at least I look decent IN clothes LOL (no one but me and DH need to know how the other side of me looks!)
My cash pay surgery was under 10K in New Iberia, LA, USA PM me if you have quesitons about Dr Borland

Congratulations. I am back to these boards for motivation. I had surgery in August 2009 and unfortunately I did not keep all of my weight off. This is motivating to me and I started truly dieting again last week. (5 pounds down)
To anyone reading this...believe what they tell you...VSG is a tool and you have to use it wisely! I went back to old...bad...habits!
Congratulations again for keeping your weight off!
