350+

Are there any of you that had surgery in July that began with a weight of 350 or more?

Yes, started 398 on July 23. So just at 3month mark and down 62pounds. Seems like this might be on the slow side, but I try not to let myself get down about it. I am eating healthy, have had NNOOO side effects from surgery and I feel great.

come on honey 62lbs down in 3 mths is nothing to sneeze at... i had surgery on 7/29 and as of today i have only lost 50lbs total... yes i cheat sometimes,, but i'm still working at it,,, i figure as long as i can work out and firm up what i'm losing than ok maybe i'm losing slow but it will look nice on me as i go... so think more postive and join a gym or just walk everyday at the park on mall,,just get moving and keep movin, the weight will soon enough come off,,, all i know is theres noway i wld have lost 50lbs in 3 mts without it so i thank god for this gift,,, and just try to work as much as possible on me. and sorry honey i was only 268lbs when i started but i am 5'1 so i was heavy i wore a size 22-24 and now down to 16's so i'm ok for now dana

Hello, Yes i was 390 on surgery morning i am now 293 . for a total of 97lbs in just over 3 months. works for me even with the complications. jennifer

I started at 355. I have lost 65 pounds with surgery. I had to lose weight before surgery so that I could have Lap RNY. So since Feb, I've lost 98 pounds.

I began at 352, and am now down to 297. Grand total? 55lbs and loving it! Pamela

Hi.. I started at 357 - my heaviest ever in my life. I have lost 67.5 pounds since July 14, and am now 289.5. I love the weight loss but I'm getting this turkey gobble-gobble thing under my chin. YUCK! Spyder

Yes I was 471 (7-19-04) now 354. 117lbs gone and no regrets.

I was 363 the day of surgery and today 3 and1/2 months later I am 277# down 86#s and and sooooooo very glad I did this...I am just now trying to exercise...started walking a couple nights a week and can go @ 1/2 mile so I am hopeful the weight will continue as I can increase my exercise.

Yes, I was at 389 at my pre-op visit a week before my surgery and am now at 311, down 78 lbs. in less than 4 months. I am thrilled. Monna
