Pre-op and Post-op: post your total weight loss so far here!

Pre-op I lost 27 pounds~ I have lost 96 pounds in 9 months for a total of 123 pounds. Wore a size 24-26 pre-op. Today I wore a size 6 jeans. Yes, that's right a Size6. OMG !!! I have lost 2 elephant penis's  and 1 average human brain. Or I have lost a 2 month old horse and the amount of pizza an average american eats in 1 year. Or, 4 average 2 year olds, 4 chichahua's, and 2 dozen krispy cream glazed donuts. Or, 2 small bales of hay and 23 guinea pigs. Or, an average 5' 11" fashion model and a human skin. Or, 61.5 racks of baby back ribs. Or, 15 human heads and an average human brain. Or, 80 dozen large eggs, 1 rack baby back ribs, and 1 guinea pig. Or, a 15 gallon tub of super premium ice cream and an average human brain. Or, the worlds largest ball of tape and 1 elephant's heart.

For all you pre-ops are you starting to smell what I'm steppin' in?

It is amazing what WLS can do for you. Best of luck. Rita

So basically you are all nothing but a bunch of CRAZY Losers! 
(I can't wait to be just like you!!!)

Okay...before surgery I weighed in at a whopping 272#....yikes.  The day of surgery I weighed 252# (loss of 20#).  I'm almost 6 months out and have lost 67 pounds in that time frame for a total of 87#.  I went from a size 24 to 26 up top and size 20 on the bottom to a L or XL up top and a 12 or 14 on the bottom.....CRAZY isn't it?!!!, but oh so worth it!

Well, I started out this journey at 408 at my first consult.  I lost 32 pounds prior to surgery and weighed 376 on surgery date.  I now am at 269....(6 months) woohooohoooo.  I crossed a new digit this morning!  I have gone from a tight size 34 to a size 20 pants and 1 or 2 x tops depending on what type and brand.  I did buy two new tops in Tulsa Saturday and they didn't have the sweater top I liked in the "large" women's sizes so I went back to the misses sizes and thought "I just might be able to wear that Misses XL and wallah....I can!!!  I was so pumped.  This tool of ours is soooo amazing.  Life is good and I feel better than I have in YEARS!!!  I guess I've losed a small woman!!!  She is lost forever....don't miss her one bit either  (I still see her in the mirror though).    

Started at 364, weighed 352 at first appointment after consult.   Weighed 317 day of surgery.  Weigh 231 now.  That makes a grand total of 133 pounds.  Can't tell you what that equals other than happiness !!!

On July 18, 2007 I weighed 478 pounds. I had to lose 40 pounds in order to get a surgery date since dr Keith said I was hard headed. . In ten months I have lost 170 pounds as a post op. Which makes the  grand total of 230 plus pounds gone . My clothing size has went from tops being a 6x to a 1x pants 32/34 to 20/22 and thats cause of the hanging apron and my abdominal bulge.
I never knew how much I would learn about me from losing weight...Pre ops just be know that life that you have known will change....
For me the person I was involved with before surgery is now just a friend.....I realize while being in the hospital after surgery I did not have to settle for less then the best....

When I started, I weighed 271 pounds.

Pre-op loss: 14 pounds
Post-op loss: 90 pounds

TOTAL LOSS: 104 pounds  or a 2 month old horse and an ostrich egg!
