Re: Do you lose much over 100?

April 9, 2004

There are plenty of people who lose over 100 pounds. I think the average is

140...I know several who lost 200. Don't panic yet....

Kathy,

You were wondering if anyone on this list has lost over 100 lbs? I did. I

have lost 230 lbs now. I had my MGB on 12/20/01 weighing 375 lbs. I now

weigh 145 lbs. This surgery does work! I have not done anything

differently than anyone else....I'm just very blessed, I guess. I eat

anything and everything I want....just not much at one time. Even at over 2

years post-op I have continued to drop a pound here and there, but I think I

have pretty much stayed at my current weight for the past 3 months. Yes,

there are MANY people who have lost more than 100 lbs! Just keep doing what

you are supposed to do and the weight will come off! Good luck in your

journey!

Hugs,

Custer from VA

Now I am really concerned. I have not seen anyone that has lost more then

just over a hundred pounds. Is this the norm that you stop losing?

Even on the website when you look at the pictures you never see anyone that

has lost over or close to 150.

I need to lose 160 will I have to go through this as well? This is something

clos failed to tell

us and from a money stand point I can see why.

I wasn't wondering if anyone had lost over 100 because just about

everyone does. You are the first person I have seen that has lost this

much weight. I have only seen one other person that has lost over 150.

I'm sure there are more they just aren't around any more.

Hi,

My husband had his surgery 6-10-03 by Dr. R.- he has lost 170 lbs! he lost

that in 9 months! I think he must have set a record- the problem is- he

wanted to lose 140 lbs- he now is so skinny - he looks like a survivor from

the concentration camps.

I have contacted Dr. R's office but they don't respond to my emails- anyway-

my brother in law had surgery the same day and he has lost about 130- I have

lost 74lbs- I had surgery July 1, 2003 and I didn't have as much to lose-

but it is definitely possible to loose a lot- my husband doesn't exercise,
