Hi Folks, I've just had VSG surgery on 5/20 and I've been out of the hospital for a few days and I'm feeling pretty good. I have lost 50lbs from Apr 1/15 to my surgery date on May 20/15. The hospital staff was excellent. Very positive/caring environment. It's great to speak with people in the same situation as me for inspiration. Looking forward to the future.

    Welcome! You made a great start pre-surgery so I'm sure you will do great post-surgery too. This group is a great source of knowledge and support.

    Gleno, we are just two weeks apart from our surgery dates and have similar weight loss goals. Would like to keep in touch and compare notes. Sent you a friend request.

    Awesome progress! I am a slow snail but happy with progress because progress, no matter how small, is a movement in the right direction. Best wishes
