Highest weight? or weight at surgery?



Recommended Posts

(gulp) I'm only 5 feet almost 5'1 and I weigh about 266 pounds and I'm so worried about saggy skin too, but my weight is contributed evenly and my I have good skin so hopefully that will help some. Sigh I'm still waiting on approval

My highest was 265 at 5'3" and now I think I'm around 260. I'm just starting the process so who knows when/if I'll get approved...Sigh...I can't get banded otherwise

373 at start of pre op

344 on surgery day

304 as of last week

I put my scale up for a couple weeks because I really want to see the 2's next weigh in.

At one point in life I was 405 got down to 267 and obviously was heading back to 400.

As far as excess skin, without a doubt I will have plenty. I am 5'10 but have bat wings, what I call hot dog Buns on my upper legs and an apron!

Oh well, one thing at a time.

With 112.5 lbs down I already see signs of saggy skin and I'm 25 y/o. I also weight train and do alot of cardio. But everyone is different!

Good Luck with everything!

Just wondering what everyone's top weight was. And also if teens have a better shot at losing more of their excess weight and having less of a problem with saggy skin. I still have to go see my doc and get approved but I'm currently 259 and 5'4".

Your right around where i am. I am 256lbs at 5'3". I am going through the process now. I just told my parents and They are cool with it. total opposite of what I thought they would be. By the way I am 19 turning 20 in August. I was wondering the same thing because I already have semi sagging going on.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
