March 9, 2018 I had VSG surgery. September 9, 2018 marks my six month journey. I have lost 90 pounds. I went from a size 22 pants to a size 10. My shirt size from XL to medium.

My advice to anyone considering VSG. Do it. I would not be here today without this surgery.

I faced the facts, I tried for over 16 years to lose weight through dieting and exercise and I honestly did not have the will power to keep it up. I would lose 20 to 30 pounds and would gain it back. This was the only way for me.

Also, I am still off insulin. My glucose levels are good. My only regret is not doing this sooner.
