Hey guys. I'm pre-op, probably having my surgery around February. I was 427 at heaviest. Now I'm down just below 400. Are there others around this weight post op DS with great results? What was/is your goal weight?

I was 400 when I had my band taken out and the switch part of this surgery done 12/26/15. (they could not do the sleeve portion due to scaring). I was 325 on 12/2/16 when they did the sleeve. I am now 300. my goal is just to be a normal size. I dont care the number persay.

I topped out at 425, pre-surgical diet got me to 385. Had my DS on 8/25/16, and today I am at 294. My goal is 195. There are rough days, but it has definitely been worth it. I hear that there is a 5-month plateau to watch out for, but I will just work the plan...I'm in this for the long haul.

Better late than never..... I've noticed it gets much easier as time passes .I lost 200 in 1 1/2 years and luv it. Went pretty fast .Best thing I ever done. I will say tho ...I do eat a lot and my weight stays the same and lots of carbs too. Hope it dont catch up w/me !!!!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
