You are NOT alone!! I am still pre-op, waiting on insurance to approve me. I started at my heaviest, 424. I was 407 yesterday. My Dr recommended the sleeve. He prefers it over the other options. Good luck to you! WE CAN do this!!

DOS. 2/19/13

Weigh: 370

Weigh today: 281

Happy with results so far. Long way to go but we over 300 can get there also.

I started the year at 385 and have lost almost 40 pounds on my own. I'm just waiting for insurance approval and then I can meet with surgeon. I am happy to see such great results for those of us starting 300+....great job to all of you...keep up the hard work and thank you for providing inspiration to the rest of us!!

My Doctor suggested that I have the sleeve, and told me that I always had the option to revise it to a bypass later on if the weight didn't come off. He seems sure that I can be successful getting the weight off with just a sleeve though, I started at 378. Haven't had the surgery yet, still need to lose 7 more pounds before I can get scheduled!

I notice that must sleeves are in the high 200's but is there anyone who started higher. My weight day off was 362 give or take a pound....my doctor told me the most common procedure for my weight was the bypass but the long term results are very much the same. Im 5'7" but I definitely strated off way bigger than some posts I see...just curious to know I'd I'm alone lol
