Hello Stephanie! You and I are in the same weight loss range! I was 330 when i went in for surgery, and am hoping to eventually MAYBE get down to 160, but 180 might be a more feasible weight... We'll see. I'm going to ask questions at my 3 week appointment about goal weight and what not. We'll support each other! :-)

Absolutely!! Support is always great to have! Yea I was 329 the day I went in for Surgery. I have gotten alot of "goal" weights. My reason for having surgery was to 1. be healthy 2. Have a baby and have a baby was really where it all started.
My GYN told me I have to get to 200lbs before I can have fertility treatments
My Surgeon told me my body wont lose more weight than it is supposed to
My Psych (for required eval) said I should shoot for 150
So I picked 175 as a weight (for my height, I am 5'8) that I think I would be happy with, and be healthy.
GOOD LUCK!!! and keep in touch!
