VSG on 12/18/17

Today marks MY official one month anniversary of MovingWait. My surgery anniversary however was on the 18th and here are my stats. HW 351, Pre-Surgery Weight 261, Post Surgery 257, CW 228. VSG had been the answer but it was no one but our GOD'S will. I had my surgery through Belite Weight.com in Juarez Mexico with Dr. Jose Rodriguez-Villareal in Hospital Angeles and I have to date not had any from surgery complications. I have miminual fading scars and I feel great most of the time. My relationship with food has drastically changed and in the beginning I was worried, now I just go with what works for me, through research and prayer. I have a vitamin regime and I have a support system and mentor, I am blessed. I started working out again on the 18th and I am taking it gradually. I will try to update here once a month and post some pictures soon.

Be Blessed EVERYONE and enjoy your journey-Lisa-Marie

It would be great if you opted to stick around and participate instead of just drive-by posting once a month.

Be careful with exercise for a few more weeks - most surgeons require that we only walk for the first six weeks post-op in order to avoid straining muscles or twisting our abdomens.

Gwen,

You are right about that! The only way I was allowed to exercise until no has been with the physical therapist, so I don't hurt my stomach/abdomen. NO twisting, no heavy lifting, etc.

Yes, please stick around and join the fun, that is how you will get to have another source of encouragement. I also have a mentor outside of here, but it is good to have more perspectives than just one.
