Two and one-half years post op!

Wow- Congrats on all your success!  I am almost to goal, and I think the idea of maintenance is scarier than the losing phase...I have lost before, but keeping it off is a whole new ballgame, lol!  Thanks for giving us all an inspiration!

Contrats Evelyn. You have done so well. Thank you for posting.

Congratulations!! It is nice to hear such great things being 2 1/2 years.  Let me ask you about your monthly losses.... I have typically been a slow loser, but still losing. However, in the last 3 months, I have only lost 3 1/2 lbs.  I'm starting to get worried that I won't lose anymore.  I'm not really doing anything that different than when I was losing. Any ideas or suggestions?
 
Thanks,
Lisa 

Hi there Lisa!  When I hit my long-term "stalls" or episodes of little weight loss, I just hung in there and believed that this would work.  And, I exercised.  If you are not doing a regular exercise activity, it might be time to start or switch it up a bit.  Swim instead of walking, or add weight lifting to your cardio.  Have you tried that?

Best wishes
Ev

I will cheer in here with everyone else!  Congratulations! 

I am so glad to hear long-term success journeys with VSG!!  I've lost it all before, but have never been able to keep it off long-term.  I need more tools in my goodie bag besides white knuckle-willpower, meditation and 12-step programs.  I am so praying that VSG will be the last tool I will ever need to tip those blasted scales in my favor!

I would love to know your story from the beginning until now.  Perhaps you have a blog??  I'll check!

Keep up the good work and keep right on inspiring us all!

Thanks!
Barbara

Hi Great story thank just in time My surgery is Wed Am with Dr Jossart.  i have been a little nervous but each story I read help. I know it was 2 1/2 yrs ago but any advise? Thanks Jennifer

Dr. Jossart is such a dear.  You are in great hands.  Just hang on, do what he says, and you will be posting about reaching goal before you know it!

 Congratulations on your success. I have read your post 3 times today because it is giving me such encouragement!
I am getting the sleeve on April 15th. I can't believe  this is actually happening!!

Dr. Cirangle is doing the surgery! I live in Las Vegas, NV so I'm flying to San Francisco!

Wish me luck! I pray the surgery goes well, I don't get nauseus, my hair doesn't fall out, and I don't get food intolerances.

Dr's Cirangle and Jossart are two of the best.  You are in good hands.  Best of luck to you!
