Default Newbie here but not to wls, hi ya'll!

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!


nice to meet ya,
Pamela

I had the GBP Feb 4th.

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!

Angela
