To be perfectly honest 375 was not my highest weight. That is what I weighed when I decided to persue WLS. I weighed my self at work and that day I weighed 375. Prior to that I had got on the scales and seen 388 or some thing in that neighborhood. I really don't have any idea what it really was. There was something about reaching 400 or being so close to it that I could not or would not accept. I now bounce around 175, up or down three pounds or so. My first visit to the surgeons office I weighed 359, my weight just before surgery was 324. I had to do a six month pre surgery diet for my ins. co. So I have lost at least 200 from my highest and around 150 since surgery. I count from my highest because that is where I started this journey and have worked from that point to get here. At 11 months I am happy where I'm at. I don't know if normal BMI "165" wil be possible without having some sagging skin removed. Who wants to be normal any way?
