I started at 292 and had lap RNY on 6/27/03. I have lost around 64lbs so
far and hope to lose like 60 more. I was 5'10 to start and I lose fast.
Hope this help.

I was 302 lbs at only 5 feet ZERO inches tall, and had successful LAP RNY
on August 5th this year. I did loose 16 pounds PRIOR TO surgury. My doc,
Dr. Helmuth Billy, recommended that I loose as much as possible B4 surgury
so that my liver would be less fatty and less of an obstacle for the LAP
Proceedure. In comparison to your height, my stomach etc was much fatter
than yours can be, so if LAP can work for this old fat lady, I'm bettin it
can work for YOU as well, darlin! Best wishes to you in your Journey,

I am 5'4". I started at 282. I am at 139, with my lowest being 127. I
am over 2 years out. I eat whatever I want, but I keep my head about me.
Sweets, maybe twice a month, at celebrations. Carbs, not my first choice,
but not completely avoided. Protien drinks, I love 'em, but I think they
put weight on me at this point (but not at the first year, I totally belive
in them). Excersize, I wish I could say I was regular, but I'm not. I'm a
card-carrying memeber of curves, but I just don't think they push you hard
enough, I leave there feeling fine, not winded, not pushed, not anything.
You are done in a half an hour though. Is that worth it? I hate that I've
gained 12 pounds over the last year. I'm not doing anything different. I
hear it's normal though. AAARGH. I wanted to be SKINNY. (My BMI is 24,
still considered normal, but high normal. I'd rather be anorexic. I know
that is bad. But obviosly I can't do it.) Society is so mean. I had someone
tell me the other day, after loosing 150 lbs., after being
"normal" according to the BMI scales that I could "stand to
loose 15 lbs." I could have blown them off, but when I'm looking at my
size *'s at the store, I think, if I could just loose another 20 lbs, I
would be a 4 or a 2. Is that stupid or what?
It would be easy to say F*** them. But the reality is that's what we have
to put up with, that's what our kids have to put up with. It's a shame. I
don't know what to do about it, do you?

I started out at 5'5" and 291. I had a very uneventful sucessful Lap
RNY on May 13th and have lost 88 lbs to date. I am thrilled with my loss,
but on a PMS plateau right now. I am a weird one. I lose steadily all
month and then when my period starts I stop losing. Once I start back on
my birth control pills, my weight loss starts up again. Oh well, if I lose
great for 3 weeks then I'm not gonna complain. I've recently
"upped" my walking so I hope that helps too. Take care and God
bless you! -Lisa/291/202/145

I had lap rny on 1/31/03, starting at 274 pounds. At six months I had lost
96 pounds and 17 more in months 6-8. Still hoping for at least another
15ish, which my doctor says I should easily exceed.

I had Lap RNY 9 months ago and I am 5'5". I started out at 286lbs and
I am now down to 174lbs, so I've lost a total of 112lbs so far. Weight
loss has slowed down, but I feel that I know how to eat now. Believe me,
if I can do it, you can too!

Hello there. I had Lap RNY on 4.10.03, and to date I have lost 87 pounds. I
started at 5'6 290 pounds, with a BMI of 47. I am hoping to reach the
century club by my 6 month mark, which is October 10th. I am very happy
with the results so far. Good luck to you & God Bless.

I had lap RNY on 4/1/03, so I'm just a week short of six months. I weighed
290 before surgery, and am 5'5", age 44. As of this morning, I've
lost 87 pounds. I eat very few refined carbs, average around 900 calories
a day, and exercise at least six days a week (either at a Curves-type
place, or a two-mile walk). I am diligent about my water, protein and
vitamins.

I had my Lap Rny on 9/17/02 weighing in at 290 and have lost 145 lbs to
date. I still do a protein shake for b-fast, lunch, protein shake for
snack then dinner (protein first, then veggie then carb/starch if there's
room). I'm not that great about exercising though. I had lost 100 lbs by
6 months out. Hope this helps. Robin 290/145/135

I'm I had lap RNY on 8/25/03 and I'm down 25 pounds. Everyone is
different, as you can see from reading the posts on this website. Almost
every post I read says don't worry the weight will come off, it takes time.
So do as your doctor tells you, follow your food plan and you'll see.
