Question:
Hello I weighed 347 before surgery and now....

Hi, I weighed 347 before surgery and now weigh 210. I have lost 137lbs. in 9 mos. I was just wondering if there are people out there who weighed this much and how much weight did they loose. Will I remain in the 200's. I had DISTAL LONG LIMB RNY OPEN. My personal goal for me is 145 is this possible?    — lynbaby B. (posted on January 12, 2002)

Go look at tricks with pics and see for yourself what is possible. It is truly amazing. I don't think your goal is unreasonable. Look at Carnie Wilson, she was 300 lbs. and now wears a size 6. Best wishes....you WILL do it.

I started out at 316.5 and am now 228, after 6 mos. My losing has slowed considerably, but my doc says it will continue. :)

Hi, I started out at 341, 5 1/2 months post op, I have dropped 115 lbs. My goal is to 150 lbs by June 2002. I plan on making it! :)

Greetings! I am almost exactly where you are in weight loss and time. I am 10 months post op, and I have lost right around 140, I started at 362. I honestly thought I would lose more, but I am the cursed pear shape type, and I have lost slower than my apple shaped friends. I am hoping to to slide under the 200 mark myself. Good luck!
