I just had mine on 10/21/10 and have had no problems so far. I think this is going to be one of the best decisions of my life. Am finding MFP to be a great tool in keeping up with food, nutrients, exercise, etc. It's a great community.

Would like to meet up with other "Sleevers" to see how you're doing. Support can really help through any weight loss program, especially some of the surgical options.

Just "Friend Me"! We'll get through it together.

    HI! I just joined up with MFP and did a forum search looking for other VSG'ers and came across your post. So I wanted to say HI! I'm was sleeved 9/21/10, so tomorrow is my 5 month surgiversary! I don't regret it at all and am loving it. The loss is starting to slow but I can't complain....-90lbs in that time is a good accomplishment! I like MFP so much better then another site I was logging food/exercise at. Hope you are still loving your sleeve! :o)

    Hi everyone!

    I was sleeved last Tuesday, August 23rd! I'm looking for a few friends so we can motivate each other along the way. :)

    (Once I get past this darned liquid diet phase, I'll be logging my food once again! lol.)

    Cheers!

    Ruby, I prefer Prilosec or the store brand of Prilosec. Although I do admit, I do not take it daily. I really need to remember to take it more often. What are you taking?

    I had a VSG on 7/14/11 and have lost 33 lbs since surgery day. I lost 30 lbs. pre-surgery with the Options program at Kaiser, so in total I've lost 63 lbs since March. I love my sleeve! If you're a sleever, I would love some friends on here since I'm new to this site. I mainly started with SparkPeople and have remained consistent in adding my food daily there.

    Hi all, I am Joanne. I have been sleeved since 9/19/2011. I am down 42 pounds so far with a hell of a lot to go. I am just looking for support and friends to talk to who understand the surgery that I went through. I have a lot of friends who are familiar with some of the other options and they just don't know what they are talking about. They just want to compare to the bypass.

    Anyhow, I hope to make your aquaintance and have a good time here.
    Thanks,

    Joanne

    Hi All! I was sleeved January 19, 2010. There is a group started by a new sleever called VSG Vixens where you can meet other sleevers. It would be great to know where you all are with your weight loss, now!
