Hi Kari,
When I started all this I was 300 lbs. and I'm 5'7, I now weigh 168. It's
been a long, HARD road. My surgery was on 2-28-05 and the one thing I can't
stress to you enough is after your surgery, be VERY VERY careful with
yourself. I've had 3 hernia surgeries and it hasn't been fun. I'm hoping
to get some pictures of myself posted soon and I haven't updated my site
for a long time. I hope to hear back from you and good luck. If you want to
write to me other than on this site my e-mail address is
[email protected]. Let me know how your doing and God bless, this is
hard road you've chosen. Karyn

Kari,
There is a special form called "light weights" here on this site.
You should look at their profiles.
I started out at 237. Down to 170 @ 5 months post op. See my profile, I
just loaded a new photo.

I'm 5'8" and started out at 253. I had surgery on 4/6/06 with Dr
Marchesini in Brazil because my insurance wouldn't cover WLS. I'm now down
to 199.5 and it has been absolutely effortless. I love my DS and am so
happy that I did my research and knew that I had a choice other than the
Band or RNY! Good luck on your journey.

Hi Kari,
I started out at 286 and I'm 5'6. My surgery was almost two years ago and
I now weigh a whopping 116 pounds. I wear a size two and after I have my
tummy tuck will be able to wear a size one. I work out religiously in
order to maintain my goal weight and it has been worth every ounce of
disicipline that I have put into it.

I am 5'7" and had surgery the 20th. I weighed 252 2 weeks prior. Had
to do a 2 week liquid pre-op and dropped 14lbs. Got out of the hospital on
the 22nd and was down another 4 and am currently holding steady at 234lbs.
I will be posting pictures soon so keep me in mind!
