new here!!

hey all so i just signed up and im having VSG on july 2nd and from what i was just reading im only going to lose 50 pounds!?? please tell me this isnt true

THANK YOU

Where did you read that?

What's your height and weight?

whoever told you that either is lying or doesn't know what they are talking about.

I lost 122# with my sleeve and have maintained the loss for 8 years.

It is all about what and how much you put in your mouth

God this is good to hear I am 5 4 and 251 pounds with pcos and hypothyroidism. I've seen it on like the weight loss calculator

The weight loss ticker is probably giving the averages. Many people here on OH have lost 100% of their excess weight. I actually lost more than that and have maintained for more than 17 months now (see my signature for specifics). If not for OH support and advice I probably wouldn't have been as successful. Support (and in some cases therapy) are essential, in addition to learning new eating habits.

Welcome! This is honestly the BEST help group (obesityhelp.com)EVER! Take the advise of the ones who have succeeded. I have VSG scheduled for May 22nd and this group has already helped me on the path to success (besides my bariatric clinic/surgeon). I've seen LOTS of success stories on here of people who have lost 100% of their weight and have kept it off. Start looking at the 'What are you eating" discussions. I've learned a LOT from these people who had surgery many years ago. They've figured it out and are offering their experience for free. WONDERFUL people! Anyway....WELCOME!
