I started at 400+ and to date I've lost 110 pounds or there abouts ... it's 110.4 or something. I'm 6 months post op July 25th. <br> My surgeon isn't really a strict one, so I don't follow much a strict diet as some of the other posters. <br> What were your expectations at 6 months? And what are you?

I started at 469 pounds. I lost 280 in the first year. Had a tummy tuck on my one year anniv and lost an additional 18 pounds with that. I came to a screeching weight loss halt at 18 months. I am down to 136. I have lost 333 grand and glorious pounds. Please let me know if I can help in anyway. Your Weight Loss Pal,

I started at 407 lbs. I am 16.5 months post-op and down 187 lbs. with 30 lbs. to go. At six months post-op, I was down about 110 lbs. as I recall. But please remember, everyone loses at different rates.

I will be 18 months post-op on July 18th and I have lost 155 lbs. I can't remember exactly how much I had lost at 6 months (shame on me!), but I will say it was between 90 and 100 lbs. But you can't judge your own weight loss by mine or anyone else's because our bodies are so different. Just look at it this, as long as the numbers on the scale are going down and not up, then your doing fine. Good Luck!!

First to everyone who answered her question, congrats !!! today is my 6 month ann. I started out at 410. I am down 126 pounds. Never judge your weight loss by anyone else's. And dont worry if you dont lose as fast. My best advice is to not weight your self more than once a week and just sit back and enjoy all the new changes. Life is grand !!
