I'm only 17 days out. I started out around 200, and weighed 195 on the day of surgery. I weigh 177 today. I'm so grateful to have had this surgery and I haven't had one second of regret.

I started at 200 lbs I was sleeved on 7/11 so I'll be 2 weeks post op tomorrow and so far I've lost 12 pounds not as much as some stories I've seen/read of say someone who weighed more but I'm still happy with this loss it's just the jump start I needed, and the tool I was after to help me get my health as weight loss back on track!

Everyone is inspiring me as well. I'm so sorry that I rescheduled my endoscopy and now have to wait another 3 weeks. My weight is 215 but my B/S is lower in the AM since I've switched meds, but I'm ready to get off all meds. Good luck and

keep us posted.

I weighed 212 the day of surgery. Three & half months out weighed in at 178. Size 16 to size 12. First 2 months are not easy as with any surgery - you need time to heal. I'm averaging 2.5lbs a week loss. To tell you the truth losing too fast would would make me worried about loose skin, hair loss & clothing purchases. I'm pleased with my weight loss - losing over 30lbs feels great! My personal goal is to loose 52lbs, wear a size 10 & to maintain it. I've never wanted to be skinny - just a healthier BMI.

Do your research & pick a surgeon with lots of experience!

Hi everybody!

I am really considering weight-loss surgery because I have been struggling with weight issues for six years... Tried everything and it doesnt work. Based on BMI, etc, I should be around 130-140. Therefore, I have about 60-70 pounds to lose. And as I was talking to a nurse she mentioned that weight loss for me was not going to be as fast as I expected. This kind of bummed me out because she mentioned that I would maybe 5 to 10 pounds a month... Even though I know weight-loss is good regardless of the amount, it kind of bummed and discouraged me...

Did anyone start off at around 200 lbs and have successful "normal" weight-loss in the first months? Please share your stories!

I would really appreciate it! Thanks!!

I was 235 lbs and surgery was 6/30 and I'm 5'6" and now weigh 205. Just worried a little about getting too small fast. I want my brain to adjust.

My surgery was in May I started out at 199 .... As of today I am at 149.4 ...... i have never regretted my decision.

I was also insulin resistant before surgery and my BP was out of control. I was sleeved 7/12 weighing right at 202, after losing some weight on pre op diet. The last time I weighed was 186. I won't weigh again until Aug 12. Weighing obsessively was not mentally healthy for me, so twice a month is it for now. I have energy and I feel great; I started exercising as soon as I was cleared to do so and love that I can do more.

I'm 227 lb, my BMI 34. Keep in mind that the purpose of the surgery is to improve our health. The looking good after wards is a bonus.
