I am 5'2" and started at 263. I lost 140 pounds really fast and have
maintained this for almost 3 years. I am 3 1/2 years post op. Good luck!

I am 5'2.5" and started at 257 day of surgery. Today I weighed 237.
I had surgery on May 7th, six weeks out. I feel I am a slow loser but am
very thankful for every pound I have lost and will lose over the course of
the 12 to 18 months. Anything under 150 and I will be very happy about. I
wish you the best of luck.

This question is perfect for me. I started at 278. However I lost 8
pounds before surgery. I was 270 on the day of surgery. I'm 5'1.5".
I had my surgery on August 25, 2003, almost 10 months ago. So far,
counting that first eight, I've lost 118 pounds. I weigh 160. Haven't
lost a pound in about 3 months, but I've dropped from a size 10 to a size 8
and even bought a size 6 skirt that's perfect for me. I've been running
about 3.5 miles at a time 5 days a week these last few months and think I
might just be gaining lots of muscle. Hope this helps! Keep up the hard
work. XOXO Jen

I started out at 300 and am 5'2 and had my surgery on December 2, 2002, so
I am 18 months out and now weigh 135 wearing a size 6 or 4. I lost all of
my weight in eleven months (been the same weight since November)...very
happy about that since this is the longest I have ever kept weight off and
stayed at the same size!

I am 5' 2" and I started at 270. My lap RNY surgery was on August 5,
2003. I did lose 15 lb in the three weeks before surgery (because I'd
gained 7 lbs between my consult in March and getting a surgery date in
July). At 10 months post op, I am down to 123 lbs. My goal was 130 lbs,
so I am 7 lbs under goal.

I'm 5'2 and was 248 on the day of surgery, however, at one point I had
ballooned up to 290. I now weigh 126 and am post-op a little over 2 1/2
years. It took about 10 months to lose all the weight.

Cathy...I started out at 333.5 and I am just barely 5 foot tall. My
surgery was 1/5/04 and as of this morning, I have lost 84 pounds in 5 1/2
months. Hope this helps. I have a friend who is about 5'1" and she
started out at 280 and has now lost a little over 50 pounds and her surgery
was 2 1/2 months ago. She's losing very fast. My weight loss is averaging
3 pounds per week. Good luck.

Cathy,
I had my surgery Jan.7th and started at 304 and now I'm 242. I'm the
SLOOOOOWEST loser on the planet I think LOL!
I did exactly what you are doing but unfortunately everyone is different
and I set my expectations too high thinking I would have dropped 100 lbs by
now.
Anyway, Just wanted to tell ya try not to compare yourself to others cause
you'll end up disappointed like me! =(
I wish you ALL the best!!
Big Hugs,
Tracy
