_{I'd love to loose about 55 pounds. One thing you should be aware of is that different doctors get different results. I work with 4 women that have all had the sleeve surgery about the same time. All went through the same doctors office but one used a different surgeon than the others. The one person that used a different surgeon can eat about 4 times what the other ladies can eat. She has barely lost 40 pounds and is really having to work hard to get that weight off. She is about 5 months out and the other ladies are about 6 to 4 months out and have lost 95 to 60 pounds. Make sure you get a personal referral about your surgeon if you can!}

I need to loss about 140-160.

[Dreamingofhealth 223]

This is a tough one. On paper I should lose 145lbs so that would bring me to 150. BUT the last time I weighed that I was 11... I'm 28 now.

I have always been big and I just don't know how that will feel or look. So, the personal goal weight I'm aiming for is 170. That means I'd have to lose 120lbs and when I get there I will reevaluate where I need to be.

I carry the majority of my weight in my middle, and I just want that to be smaller because I've read that being an 'apple' shape is extremely hard on your heart.

Either way ANY amount of weight lost will be a win! Good luck everyone. Lets take it one day at a time because before we know it we will get there!

My goal is to weigh between 135-145. I started at 257 in September of 2012. My surgery was 12/18/12 and my surgery weight was 245 I am now at 186. I have at least another 41 pounds to go. I hope to be at goal by my one year mark if not sooner. My short term goal is 175 by June 21st, first day of summer.
