Thank you so much for doing these videos. I am having my sleeve done next monday and I had gotten so nervous I almost backed out. Watching your videos has helped me to decide to go ahead with it; and will help me to go in thinking positively, instead of just being scared.

Hi, I just added another video. I wish you the best with your surgery.

I think you're a great inspiration! :) I had my VSG in July, and have lost 40 lbs. Not as quickly as I'd like, but I've LOST! :) I look forward to continuing this and getting myself to a size that is out of the teens :)

Isn't youtube great! I watch other videos of people that had the VSG. Before surgery they were so helpful and inspiring. Thanks for watching my videos, it feels good to know I might be helping people.

You have been such a information source for this procedure. I am now beginning to look into it. I attended the seminar portion of the journey last night (Jan.11,2011) and now I am scheduled for my consult next week. I am a former Lapband patient, and a plication failure patient. This I feel, after reviews and studying many that have had it, I am gearing myself for it. I look to have this first part of the summer - as I am off work for the summer - being that I am a teacher aide. good luck!

i really enjoyed your videos. i am considering gastric sleeve surgery. do you mind if I ask how tall you are? and what your goal weight is? also, how do you stop losing weight with this type of surgery? how do you maintain your new weight?
