[Angie_musgrave 3]

Was anyone's starting weight 250? I've heard alot of the heavier you are the more u lose? Do u guys think i Will be successful?

HA!! I sure hope so!! I started at 349! I am down to 285 so far in close to 4 months. I think you will do fantastically. "They" say you should only lose a certain percentage of your overage in weight, but I've seen people on this site get down as far as they wanted.

I hope so as well, I started at my highest 408 surgery weight 398 5/15/12 and now a little over 2 weeks out I'm down almost 35 lbs so I think you can definitely get to where you need to be. I have a friend who had surgery over a year ago start at 465 and weighs around 230 or so and he looks great!!!!

I just feel like alot of people are starting out over 300 pounds.. My goal weight is 140. Im super nervous!! Good for u! You've lost alot of weight!

[Angie_musgrave 3]

There are those that start out smaller than you too and have gotten down to size 0/2...You can work your sleeve to get to wherever YOU want be whether your 250, 350 or more.... Good Luck and congrats on your date.

The less you have to lose, the longer it takes. My surgeon said to expect to lose 70% of your excess weight. I have surgery next week and I am currently 185 (I have lost 45 pounds in the last 3 months). He said I can get down about 50 pounds. I would be thrilled to get down to 135! Good luck!

I started at 233 and so far I have lost 55 pounds. My surgery was almost 3 months ago.

Good luck! You will do great!!
