I weight over 500 lbs I just want to know has anyone had success with the surgery who weight 500 lbs or over
Yes.
I lost down to a normal BMI and below.
This allowed me to start walking, then running, then run 5 marathons in a year.
Kayaking. Horseback Riding. DisneyWorld.
I am happy with my life.
My surgery works the same as it ever did. I still eat mostly to basic rules. No counting calories, no scale, no nothing.
I weigh over 600 lbs , How can I Tell People and my daughter I'm Have Weight Loss Surgery
You don't have to.
I was likewise over 600 pounds. I told my spouse, my parents.
I didn't tell our grown kids, co-workers (except CEO, because we need to plan).
It's your life. YOUR LIFE.
The kids were shocked to see me two years later. This is when I told them.
When people at work started noticing, I smiled and said thank you. They stared at me like I was an idiot because I didn't say more. I liked that.

Hi there! Almost a Year Post OP!!!! How do you feel? I am looking for things I can look forward to and I am getting nervous since I am almost to the stage where everything is submitted for approval/surgery.
I have gained and lost a lot over the years and I always found that people DID treat me differently. I am guessing the same will occur after I have surgery. But, I also assume I will also be treating myself differently so it's a full circle!
I think I posted to a similar thread in a different forum, but I hope your daughter realizes that this is for your health and as long as you have an experienced surgeon who knows what he/she is doing, AND you've undergone the proper classes/education to sustain a healthier lifestyle going forward, you are in good hands for success.
Have her go to classes with you if she is feeling uneasy so she can learn about the process along with you!
