    Hi,

    I had my VSG July 20, 2012. So far, I have lost 81 pounds total. 47 pre-op and 34 post-op.

    My surgeon was Dr. Almanza in Tijuana, MX. And I had a great experience with that group.

    Hello! I had VSG on August 13, 2012. I have lost 67 pounds since my highest weight (half was before surgery and half has been since). I am very happy with my choice and the weight continues to fall off of me!

    Hello, I'm Julie. I had VSG on 7/17/12 by Dr. Michael Schweitzer of Johns Hopkins -- Bayview Medical Center. I have lost 38 lbs so far. Surgery weight was 370. Hope to get to about 170 lbs. I didn't gain weight until I had children. I was actually quite skinny when I was a teenager -- less than 120 lbs at 5'8". Happy to be here where I can track my food and see what I am actually eating. It makes a big difference.....
