Is there anyone who......

Is there anyone here post-op that weighed approx. 340 at 5'51/2" with pictures of your success? I would love to hear and see. Im pre-op and want a better idea of what I can expect in the future. Thank you in advanced.    — MissKimberly (posted on December 11, 2002)

Hi...I started at 352 at 5'8. I had my surgery on July 15...I am sitting at 98lbs. lost in less than 5 months! I went from a 30 or 32 in pants to an 18 - 20..I am also an 18 - 20 in shirts! Life is great and getting better by the moment. I work out hard and have found a "new addiction"! Best of luck to you on your journey!

Kimberly, I am 5'5" tall and started out at 346. I have lost 160 pounds in a year. My pictures (only two) are on my profile. This has been a marvelous experience and, please forgive me for saying this, so easy. I would do it again without thinking twice. I am waiting now for insurance approval for my tummy tuck and hernia repair. Please email me privately if I can answer any questions for you.

Hi Kimberly - I'm in no way near being done losing, but I'm 9 weeks out and have lost 53 pounds. I am 5'5" and started at 340 as well. I also went thru Kaiser and had my surgery done in San Diego. Good luck!

One other thing... I read your profile and saw that you said Kaiser doesn't do lap surgeries. I had mine done lap at Pacific Bariatrics... and Kaiser paid for it! There IS hope out there! :-) Take care.
