Question:
I am 5'10 330lbs Anyone else?

I am two weeks pre-op and I'm looking to find out if anyone started out close to where I am at? I'm wondering what my weight loss will be like.    — feminine271 (posted on January 9, 2003)

I am 5'8'' and started at 336. I was 320 at surgery date. I am 4 months now and weigh 246. I don't exercise and I have yummy treats now and then. Otherwise, I might do better, but I am very happy with weight loss so far. I started at a 26 I thought, but my 28 jeans were tight when I got home from hospital so was probably a 30. I am a 22 now in jeans, and an XL in shirt. I lost a lot faster up top and my "roll" in hanging on for dear life. When I was this weight before, I think I wore a 20 pants, but I did not have this big of a roll (and I had lost weight slower - no surgery)

I am 5 ft. 9 and before my surgery I weighed 295... Surgery was Oct 16th & that means I have lost 53 lbs. in a little under 3 months.. I was wearing sz. 26/28 & that was tight yesterday I wore a 22/24 & it was really loose.. I think that some people just loose slower than others, I also think that if you were only 100 to 150 lbs overweight you loose a little slower than those who had more to loose... I am happy that I had this surgery, most of the time .. There are times when I still wonder why I did it... Like at holiday dinners or when I am out to lunch with the office at an all you can eat buffet.. LOL... But the majority of the time I am happy & feel healthier & have tons more energy... So best of luck to you & if you have the surgery please be sure to follow your doctors instructions..
