I am so glad that I found this site! I have found so much info. My surgery date is 30th I am on my 2nd week of a 4 week liquid diet. I have to say the first week was torture but this week has been much easier. Updates and photos to come!

Welcome to the forum.  I hope you find it as supportive and informative as I have.  I'm 2.5 years post op.  I lost 225 pounds, and am maintaining at my goal weight.  This site has been such an important support for me in the process. 

The weight loss surgery made an amazing difference for me.  I hope it will for you, as well.  The WLS doesn't make it easy, but it makes it possible. 

best wishes,

Carol

Thank you! So far this site has helped me decide between lap-band and the sleeve. I've decided to definitely go with the sleeve.

Good decision. The band sucks!

Welcome! Best of luck on your VSG!

I am on week 3 post op. I've lost almost 50 lbs since starting the 2 week preop liquid diet. Best decision I ever made!

Congratulations and welcome!! I was a member here a few years before my husband and I had surgery. I was a real doubter at first, we should have had our procedure years ago.  

Good luck to you!
