Hi I was 406 at my first weigh-in in late June. 372 on surgery day on September 6th. 285.1 yesterday morning. I have stuck with diet and not cheating.

I was 481 when I started in June of this year. On B-Day (bariatric operation day), Oct 11, I was 414. Today as I sit here typing, I am 372. All has gone very well for me.

I had my first consult this time last year at 442lbs (BMI of 76). Had sleeve surgery in June at a weight of 364lbs BMI~66). Today I'm 282lbs. It takes work but it has been amazing! My overall health is better than it has been in decades!

Yeah I feel so much better I could do so much more. Walk around don't even get out of bed at all. It's amazing how much better I feel.

I started my journey (with my PCP appointment for referral on February 2) at 397 pounds. At my first of six appointments with the surgeon's staff (March 3), I weighed 392 pounds. I lost 99 pounds during my six month pre-op diet program, and weighed 298 pounds on the day of surgery (September 28). Today (Day 64 post-op), I weighed 259 pounds.

It is an amazing journey, and if you commit yourself to it fully, you will be successful.

Good luck!

That's pretty awesome. Especially losing that much weight before surgery.

The pre-op diet was the best thing that ever happened to me. I am convinced that it is largely responsible for the easy time I had during surgery, my near seamless recovery, and my continued success post-op. I re-established with my relationship with food long before the surgery, so I didn't have to do that as I was healing and generally felt yucky in the days and weeks right after the procedure. I would never have had the mindset I had on surgery day had I not lost all of that pre-op weight, and when that first stall hit at week 3 post-op, it was MUCH easier to handle having lost 120 pounds rather than just 20 pounds!!

[larry971 279]

Yeah that is pretty awesome. I followed my doctor's pre-op orders to the Sea as I wanted my healing time to be minimum and he was quite clear that following it it would make it easier. So I went from 406 to 372 in late June hand surgery was September 6th. Sounds like you got a great attitude. And I know I feel so much better.

433 day of surgery.

[larry971 279]

Wow my insurance stipulated that I could not gain any weight after initial weigh-in I didn't have to lose but I could not gain or they said it would show I didn't have commitment to losing weight
