My husband had a distal gastric bypass 10/24/95. He was 6'1", 285. He was at 175 in 4 months. Oh, it took awhile for his skin to settle, but he largely stayed stable since then. WE have 4 guys in our support groups who've lost over 300# in one year. Talk to me & I'll ask 'em to email you!

I had the surgery on April 5th and have lost 63 pounds in a little less than 3 months. I enjoy the freedom of not being nagged all the time by hunger. I had no complications and was back at work in one month.

Hi, I had the fobi pouch done on 10/13/99.. as of today 11/7/99 I have lost 70lbs. I also had a pinnectomy done(aka a tummy tuck) so I sort of had a jump start because they removed 23lbs. from the bottom of my stomach. Right at this point, I am very happy about the loss but kind of concerned about my lack of energy!! I am just doing everything that the doctor has told me to do, and looking forward to the end result. Before the operation I weighed 426lbs. Already I see a huge difference. Good luck to you, it will be worth it in the long run
