Welcome! Congrats on your upcoming surgery. This is an awesome group. I had my surgery (VSG) 11/23/15. Feel free to add me as a friend if you like. I will answer any questions as best as I can. If you go back and read some older posts you will find a wealth of info.

It's a great group, and good source of information and support. Welcome!

Hello and welcome I'm planning on having bypass surgery in about a month or two. This group has been sooooo helpful for tips, advice, and support. You've definitely come to the right place. Please, add me as well if you'd like!

Welcome! I had vsg in 2010, then converted to RNY (because of bile reflux that wouldn't stop!) a year ago! I began mfp back in 2012, but became active last year and it's helped me change my life! I hope you find the same results!

@Tawnykakers1 is right, it is well worth your time to go back & read through some of the older conversation threads. I really learned a lot by doing this. Good luck with your preparations. You're in the right place here!

Hello. I'm 4 weeks post op and finally feeling better about having the VSG. The first three weeks were really hard for me both physically and mentally.I actually regretted having the surgery. It feels like time is going by so slow.

Welcome! Everyone here is so supportive and has fantastic advice. Feel free to add me - I was sleeved almost a year ago now (2/17/15).
