I was 342 the day of my surgery. I am 11 months out and I am now 209. So, a total of 133 pounds so far. I am hoping to lose at least another 39 pounds. It is coming off so slow now though. If I don't lose anymore, I will still consider the surgery a success. Mellisia 342/209/170

I have lost 120 pounds and would like to lose maybe 30 more. That will take me down to about 160. That's about what I weighed in high school. People have started saying that I don't need to lose any more weight. They must be crazy or blind because I am still over 190 pounds and only 5'4" tall. Donna

I had surgery 1/20/04. Lost 58 pre-op and 114 post op -172 pounds total. I hope to lose another 45 pounds, then have plastic surgery and end up 150-160. Pat 410/352/238/155

I've lost 103#'s and want to lose another 50....but I'm stuck!! I just can't seem to get back to the "program......so frustrating!

Hey Sister! Look who is talking, you gorgeous thing you!!! You look so wonderful, can you believe its been almost a year already? What a ride, huh? I sure hope i see ya soon, tho am not sure i will be able to recognise you now, Miss purty lady! Donna

I had surgery on 1-16-04 I went from 260 to 145lbs that is a total lost of 120lbs. I feel great! I went from a size 22 to size 6! The only thing that I hate is the sagging skin under my arms and my sagging breast and butt! But I am glad that I had the surgery!

Well I weighed 272 on the night of surgery and I am now 161 so that is 111/ I am still overweight by BMI standards but I feel awesome. I wanted to be 130 so that would of been 30 more lbs but I would be great with 140 so maybe another 20? I know someone mentioned that people feel they dont need to lose anymore and I am getting that alot as well. I tell them I weigh 161 and they think I am lying, why would I lye I would say 130!!!!!! My SIL thinks I should not lose anymore but I would love to be 130-140

Go****hose totals are great! Someone should add up the total lost for the January crew! What a great main message board post! Between that and/or inches lost - I'm sure we'd have a staggering number! I started out at 281, I'm now at 188, so I've lost 93 pounds - I hope to lose anywhere from 20 to 40 pounds. I think 140 will be too small, but we'll see! Barbie 281/188/160ish
