lost 92 lbs. Before surgery I weighed 242. 6 months later, I weigh 150. From size 22/24 to 14. I struggle with making good food choices all the time. overall, I feel good. Today, as I was driving to work, I looked down at my legs and realized that I am average now... I smiled to myself. Thank-goodness!

Congrats, my sisters!! You are doing great. Is this the best thing you have ever done for yourself or what?? Ok, who else wants to share? Jacki K

I haven't done measurements lately, but I'm down 93 lbs, from a 30/32W to a 18W in shirts and from a 32A to a 24P in pants! I've never had so much energy and such a great time working out! Karen 356/263/???

OK I have lost 74lbs. I have been on a plateau this last month. I have lost 11 inches. I have gone from a size 30 to a very comfortable 18. I love exercise since it doesnt hurt now to do it. I weigh 230 now and want to be a 25 BMI which for me would put me at 185lbs. So realisticaly I just want to see a 1 in front of my weight. Everyone says I look fantastic now just to convince my head.

Hi amy, I had my surgery on November 7th 2005. My preop wieht was 321 I am now at 240 and have been since April 19th. I was wondering if you have started losing yet. I will go from 240 to 245 to 239 and back and forth. I dont know what to do to break this I was wondering if you have and suggestions. Thanks so much chrissy

I had the lap band surgery. I have lost 73 lb based on my old scale and 67 lb based on my new scale. (I like the old scale better.) I have gone from a size 22 to a 14-16. My weight loss is not as strong as with RNY, but then again, it's nothing to sneeze at!

Down 76 lbs from my consult (291), but only 68 lbs since surgery (283)...weighing in at 215 lbs. Still 75 lbs from goal.I know I've dropped over 40 inches since January, but didn't take measurements before that. I'm in a size 18 or Xl depending, wearing some L pants, down from an 11 shoe to and 8 1/2 narrow, from a 54F bra to a 44DD and from a 10 ring to a 7 1/2. I'm in the middle of a bout of gastritis, have been for over 2 weeks, it was diagnosed last Friday via a scope, so I'm pretty much stalled. Ye' ole starvation mode since I haven't been able to keep anything down. Starla
