Lost 100lbs on my own..What to expect after VSG??

Hey guys just curious if I have been steady loosing weight with out the VSG do you think I will still see good results like other people have?  Thanks!!!

First congrats on a amazing weight loss b4 surgery! If you stay on your drs plan for you, you should see good results. You'll not only lose the weight but keep it off! Make sure to tackle any food issues you might have with a therapist or other people that can help you so you don't go back to old habits. They say the first year is a honeymoon phase, so keeping up with all the good habits you make now should follow you thru for life. Good Luck!

Thanks hun!  I have a good support network of ppl I talk to.  The dietician has be a saving grace making my self acountable.  Im just praying with hard work I can loose it all and keep it off.  I just want to ride a freaking roller coaster! :-)

Getting on a roller coaster has been one of the first things I want to do.  :)

After all you've already accomplished, you'll keep going with less hunger struggles, that's for sure.

I lost 116 before surgery, and I think it helped enormously. No pun intended. It gave me a really good running start.

I do think you will lose a little slower than some after surgery, but only because you have less to lose. The first month after surgery I lost 21 pounds, and had a couple of other months where I lost 20. I know a few big guys who lost close to 40 their first month. But they all gained a few pounds before surgery, and none of them reached goal the way I did.

Congratulations on the head start. You'll do great.

grim thanks!!!!

Congrats on the amazing weight loss! I think we are probably similar - I was 444 lbs when I started the supervised diet and lost 107 lbs in that six months. Just as that was slowing down though, I had the VSG and it kick started my losses again. I was still pretty heavy at 338, but lost 105 lbs in the next six months. So, for me it was perfect timing. It looks like we have similar stats and you're a man (which I believe means you'll tend to lose faster). I think you should do fine if you have a good plan and stick to it!

Congrats!!
