I am close friends with several people who had the sleeve done around the same time as me (2008). All are doing well and have gotten to a BMI under 30 and have maintained their loss.

Good Morning everyone,
Heigh weight: 310
Last week's weight: 279.4
This week's weight: 276.4
3 pounds down this week. Go girl!
So, this was my first week back to work. I must say I was exhausted this week, but I managed to get to the gym three days and have walked everyday at work aiming to reach those 10000 steps a day. I've taken my all my meals with me to work, so my eating and vitamins are on track. And the water for that matter. I feel good about the first week and developing me a little system that is working.
Goal 1: 233
Goal 2: 170
High weight:310
Mo 1: 30
High weight: 337
Last week: 198.7
This week: 195.9
Next goal: 196 @ surgeon visit on 10/7; then 185.
I've gotta be super careful to ensure 196 @ my 10/7/16 appointment- I'm teetering on the edge. I was lower but trended back toward 196.blah blah. Damn fickle scale! Either way-- I can't believe I'm so close to my goal!!

My starting BMI was originally 78. Currently it is 53ish. I still have a long way to go, but the sleeve has worked very well for me.
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

I come up for air at Thanksgiving - but otherwise, yea - Christmas!

Hello,
My name is Taylor Greene. I am currently at a BMI of 51.9.... tomorrow 9/22 I am having the gastric sleeve done.
I am nervous and excited. I am interested in hearing some of your success stories with a starting BMI over 50.
