1 year anniversary
One year ago today was my surgery and I can't believe how smooth everything has been for me. I am so thankful for Dr. Nicholson and team as well as this forum. VSG forum has been such a fantastic learning tool. I thank you all who post regularly (I'm bad about that) and share your journey, good or bad. The support is incredible. My fitbit and myfitnesspal also have been a blessing. I have faithfully used both since preop.
Since I can't seem to figure out this ticker thing, I will just post my lost. My preop weight was 260 lbs, lost 15 during preop (2 weeks), today one year later I weigh 154.4, total loss of 105.6.
Life is crazy good.

Wonderful news! Congratulations. You'll be easing into maintenance before you know it!
I'm so happy for you.

You have done beautifully! What a fabulous gift to yourself. Congratulations!
If you are wondering about maintenance (whether you are ready for it or just have questions,) please think about looking into the VSG maintenance group.
There are a mix members, some very new at maintenance (like me) but others that have been at it a long time. Good support and good info! http://www.obesityhelp.com/group/VSGM/

I only recently discovered it when it was suggested to someone else. That was a duh moment for me, too! There are a ton of groups out there that I didn't know existed -- some more active than others.
Go to Community then select groups and the names and descriptions appear. You can also see the number of recent posts to give you an idea of traffic.
