VSG with BMI over 50? Anyone?
Very true about learn to cope and mental work. I know it will be a lot of work because the surgery only limits the size of my stomach, not what's in my head. I'm hoping as I am eating the right kind of foods and seeing myself shrink that I will want the food I shouldn't have. But I know that I will see foods on tv, at home, or other places that I will want.
I had a pretty high BMI and at last talk my surgeon sees no reason for me to have the 2nd stage done. I am in a little stall right now, but have lost pretty consistantly.
Good luck and prepare for the ride of your life!!

14 pounds lost before surgery. My first ticker is when I hit onderland: this was my goal when I started on this journey. I want to focus on that right now...once I get there I can reevaluate.
My second ticker is my dream goal. Even if I only visit there for a short time, it would be nice to see that number just once. I am pretty sure I'll need plastics to hit this goal.
I don't know, I feel like having the surgery did change something in me mentally. Maybe it's just the happiness of actually losing weight or the hope that comes with it. Unfortunately I am not one of the lucky ones who never gets hungry. I get hungry every couple of hours which is something I was hoping wouldn't happen pre-op. It's still way different than before though.
Started with BMI of 50, I am in my 8th month and only 10lbs from being merely overweight. I am in a size 12 pants! I love my sleeve. I love not having malabsorption issues. I cannot eat more than I use to. My restriction remains great. Good luck in your choice. AND remember....It can be only your choice.
16 lbs lost pre-op!
