I'm 5'5" and started at 243. I now weigh 137. It took a year, I lost slower than others, but I made it!

I'm 5'3", started at 260#. Lost 95# in the first year then got on the plateau from hell (I will be 2 years post-op next month). For the past few months I've been having plastic surgery with resulting weight flucuations of about 10#. Am currently at 165# and still have hopes of getting down to my personal goal of 145#. It's been very frustrating this past year to not lose more when others are to goal in 6 months!

My highest weight was 240...on date of surgery I was 226...I fluctuate between 123-128. It took me about nine months to get down to 140...I lost the remaining weight when I had my TT...and then was able to exercise more. My surgery was 11/16/01...I went from a size 24 to a size 4. Have a Sparkling Day!! ~CAE~

Hi! I was 212lbs the day of surgery. I am 5'2 and currently weigh 118lbs. I had surgery Aug. 7th, 2002. My own personal goal is 108lbs. 10lbs. to go!!!! This will be the hardest to lose though--no fun!

I'm 5'2 and started out at 248. I know weigh 125. I pretty much stopped losing after about 10 months post op and have stabilized between 121 and 128 in the past 9 months.
