Question:
I'm scheduled for surgery soon with BTC and need to lose 250 lbs

I am anxious to hear from other post-ops that have had to lose this much that have gone to BTC. Am I making the right choice?    — Jay C. (posted on May 9, 2002)

Check out Rex Clute's profile on this site. He is a man from our support group that has lost 134 pounds in 4 months. He is awesome and a wonderful man.

I'm in California, si I didn't use BTC, but I used Pacific Bariatrics, a very reputable clinic in Southern California. I needed to loose aroun 250. I am 8 months post-op and have lost 183 lbs. It came off rapidly at first, the last couple of months it has slowed to 10 lbs. per month. Still respectable, but slower than I would like. LOL
