Question:
How much weight can you really lose with the bariatric surgery

I had my surgery done on 12/1/2009, my initial weight was 303 pounds at a height of 5"6, i have lost a total of 78 pounds since. Is it possible to reach my goal weight of 155. Lately I have have been hitting the worse platue and can't seem lose the 70 more pounds needed. Help i am getting more and more discouraged. How much weight can one realistically lose with the fobi pouch??    — Chris O. (posted on August 25, 2010)

Well, my highest KNOWN weight was 312, and I am 5'8". I lost a little weight before sururgy, got down to about 279. Now weigh 166....that's over 140 pounds total loss...went from a size 28 pants and 3XL blouse/shirt, to a size 10 pants and a medium to large blouse or shirt. Also lost half a shoe size. I'm a little over 18 months out.

I had the sugery on April 22, 2010 and was at 262. This morning I was 181 so down quite a bit in just four months. I follow the diet to a T and don't cheat and I exercise.

I had RNY on April 23, 2009. My starting weight was 345. Wore size 28. Now I am at 170, and wear a size 10/12. Lost a total of 175 lbs. I wish that I had had this surgery years ago. I am still loosing too! I lost another pound last week. I don't eat sugar, bread or pasta. Best of luck to you! It is well worth the journey!
