I had RNY in Dec 2008, 18 months ago. To be at a normal BMI, I'd need to be 150 lbs. For that I had to lose 120 lbs (I was not technically a LW, but I stayed around here cause people were the coolest).

I lost 110 lbs. Have been maintaining the same weight with a small fluctuation of 2-3 lbs up or down for the last 6 months or so. I feel like a bombshell, of course, specially when I remember how awful I felt and look pre-op, but it would be nice to lose another 10-15 lbs to have some bounce back room.

I had my Sleeve Party on 2/17/2010 so I'm 6 months out.  My doctor doesn't give goals but said that my surgery would be a success at a 30 BMI (174.9).  He said anything after that would be a bonus at my age.

I want to lose 100 pounds so that I can have a cute little apple!   I'm down 71 with 29 to go which will put me within 5 pounds of "normal".

I had RNY on January 29, 2010 so I am 7 months out.  My goal is to lose 118 pounds, which would put me at 145.  I have 28 pounds to go.

I had RNY in March of 2009.  Started at 184.  Went down to 107 in 7 months.  Try to maintain at 107 - 110 but this summer have been fighting about 3 extra lbs.    111 now and working to getting back  to 109 and staying there.  Diabetes, HTN, High cholesterol all resolved.  Love this tool.

I had a VSG and had 78 lbs to get to my surgeons goal which I was at before 6 months out.  My personal goal was to lose 100 and I hit that at about 10 months.  I am getting close to a year and have decided that I want to lose another 10, but have been just maintaining for the summer.  In all honesty, it has been easy so far.

Had RNY on 5/24/2010, lost 30 lbs before surgery and have so far lost 54 lbs post surgery.

Just had my 3-month appt today and they say I've lost 63% of my excess weight, which they normally see those kind of results more at the 6 month mark and not already at the 3 month (w00t!).

I am no longer on my cholesterol medication and I am no longer on my BP medication. I feel great!!
