starting weight 230

I wanted to know if there is anyone out there who has had suregery with a starting weight of 230lbs. What weight are you now? Are you happy that you had the surgery? What can I expect? Thanks in advance Lynn

Sorry Lynn I was way off of there. I started at 298lbs and have lost 64lbs in 3 months. I am delighted and would do it all again in a heartbeat if I had to. I do beleive starting at a lower weight, the loss might be somewhat slower. The main thing to remember is that you will lose, and you will be healthy again.- Melissa

Hi Lynn! I am way above that and having my wls on Thursday! I can't wait. I live in Wilder, KY. If I can be of any help to you just let me know. I am on and off line all day every day. Email me anytime! That goes for anyone! Best wishes to you! PJ sept 2, 2004

My starting weight was 237 and I am 5'6. I have lost, after having a RNY revision, to 189 after 5 months. My loss is slower but the inches are vanishing like crazy. I have gone from a size 22 to a size 14(some 12s). I feel great! Wish I had done the revision sooner. Kathy 4/1/04 237/189/130

hi Lynn. I started out at 228.6 and had lost 100 pounds in about eight months. I am 5'1". i thought i looked pretty good but the docs decided I looked guant (sp) and had me gain a little weight. I now weigh 132-134 and wear size 10 or 12 petite. I feel great. it is the best thing i have ever done. i have had a few problems. read my profile but nothing major. I started out really slow or so i thought but I was losing lots of inches. I have maintained this weight for several months now. i am 18 months out now. I have trouble keeping weight on. i eat all the time. Drink shakes all the time and try to do everything I am supposed to do altho i do get lax on my vits at times. I hate pills.
