I'm excited to find ya'll! Since I tend to be kind of chatty I thought I'd better jump in and introduce myself before I start responding to posts. Don't want you saying who the heck is that!

I had a vertical sleeve gastrectomy 9/13/07 and I couldn't be happier about it. It's the best money I've ever spent and even my DH agrees. I'm down 91 pounds so far and I have about 20 pounds to go. I've slowed down to about 3 pounds a month weight loss in the past few months and I'm happy with it. As long as the scale is going down I'm happy! :D

nice to meet ya,
Pamela

I had the GBP Feb 4th. :D

I've read about the VSG...it's not a common surgery yet, but it's becoming more and more popular...good to know someone that has had one! There are people that have had questions about it.

AND I'm chatty too! :lol:
