From the day I first saw a surgeon (BMI 43.2) about an umbilical hernia and he suggested a gastric bypass at the same time, to the date of surgery, I lost 35lb. I had a BMI of 37.4 then.
But that wasn't unusual for me - I have a 30+ year history of yo-yo dieting. I'm an outstanding dieter. I'd spend half the year losing 50-60lb and the other half putting on 60-70.

Dr. Sebesta - Madigan Medical Army Center (MAMC).
259.5/224.7/111
highest/day of surgery/current
BMI 18.5 (5'5")

Meg can be very testy, try and avoid her if you can.
Oh and wear your cpap, lack of oxygen decreases your ability to heal, raising your risk of a comlication. They will want you to bring it to the hospital even.
There is a meeting on thurs nights, it isn't a class and is not supported by Madigan. It is just a group of WLS peeps that have educated themselves and try to give support to each other. Nice group of people. It is from 5-7 at the WIC center next to the Battle Bean coffee place.
