Question:
Is there anyone out there who has lost 300 or more pounds with WLS?
I need to lose over 300 pounds and am looking for others who have lost this amount of weight or who are currenly losing. Would love to hear from you. Thanks — [Deactivated Member] (posted on March 24, 2009)

Hi my name is Tammi I have loss 140 pounds since July of 08
I started at 368 and now weigh 230
I know its not 300 but I want to loose another 60 to be at 170 I was going
to go down to 145 but decided to stay at 170
life is grand, go for it
having that much weight to loose not sure if u are able to have bypass due
to health issues but I met someone about a month ago that had lap band and
she started out 3 years ago at 598 pounds unable to walk and she is now
weighing 230 she is undergoing skin removal for her legs and she is
amazing
You can do it dear the sooner you start to live the better
weighing almost 400 pounds myself was like an extra person I had on my back
I really feel lighter
contact me if u want to talk
Tammi
Really it took me 2 years to get accepted u can read my blog to find out
why the best thing I did was turn it over to God who I have not always had
in my life but once I did it has truly been amazing Bless you Tammi

I am 9 months out from RNY and have lost a total of 195lbs...80lbs prior to
surgery...I still need to lose about 80...so close enough to 300..I was 445
at my highest weight. The 80 lbs I lost prior to surgery was the hardest
80lbs I have lost my whole life...the 110 since surgery has been a
breeze...This is the best thing I could have done for myself...My husband
has also lost 190 lbs, he has 40-50 more to go...best thing he has done for
himself too...Send me a message to ask anything you want, I will answer to
the best of my ability, no holds barred...

Here is the forum for the super MO...You might find some answers here and
what surgeries are best for the amount you want to lose...I lost 150 lb
from 315 lbs...and have kept it off for 5 years averaging 165 lbs...Since
you need to lose double that, you might consider a more radical procedure
such as the DS or Medial RNY...The more radical the more risks...I just
wanted to be healthy...I didn't care what number I ended up weighing as
long as I was healthy again...I got lucky in that I am thin enough to like
how I look and much healthier than I thought I'd be! So It worked out
great for me with RNY.... I wish you much luck and success!

These are such motivating posts in answer to yr question. My highest
weight was 513 but after many ups and downs I went into my consult at 471,
and surgery day (Feb 5 2009) I was 451. Today am down 51 pounds since
surgery (Lap RNY) and hoping it continues to drop. I think if I can get to
the 222 range I'll be doing well. Not quite 300 but a "chunk"
LOL. Happy to chat any time - best to you.

I didn't have to lose 300 pounds but I did lose 280 so I can say that it is
definitely possible. I wish you the best of luck. I had my surgery
3/30/00. If you would like to email me I am at [email protected].
