Is there anyone who is in the 400's 300's

Who has had vsg? I'm constantly seeing people in the 200's and me being in the 3'00s I would like to see and hear more about people around my size also I would like to know if you guys lost half of your weight.

Yep! Look for posts by BigFrank. Also there are forums for support groups by amount to lose, just like there are for region and surgery type. You might also look for 50+ BMI as well as there will probably be a significant overlap. VSG is not only a standalone surgery, but can also be the first part of a two-step surgery called the duodenal switch (DS), which is specifically aimed at people with a very high BMI.

I was 312 when I entered the program, but lost 14 lbs. before surgery. My highest weight was actually a few years ago, but I was at 335 then.

My highest weight was 423. BMI about 54 or so.

At 5 months I am 320# with a BMI of 44. I lost a lot before surgery as well and I have a lot more to go. But what the heck, might as well... can't dance... :-)

My highest weight was 355, that was when I decided to move forward with surgery June of 2012. I lost about 60 lbs pre-op and was just under 300 on surgery day. Today I'm at 204 and never happier. Losing slow now, but I'll take it gladly!

Good luck !

My highest weight was 404. When I started my liquid diet I was 357, 7 months after surgery I'm 260. It's been a great experience.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
