Question:
Anyone who started out close to 500

is there anyone who has lost more than 250 and how long has it taken you?    — Carol M. (posted on September 26, 2001)

There are at least two women that I know of in my support group who started out at 500 pounds. One is now down to 140 pounds and the other has lost nearly 200 pounds in the first year. Good luck to you!

I started out at over 500 and have lost 180lbs at 11.5 months postop. I can't wait to hit that 200 lb mark but it will come in its own good time
