Re: How much have you lost?

Oh sweetie, I'm right with you there, but you are

ahead of me. I had my surgery on May 11th, Lap (thank

you Dr. Nease) and weighed 410 pounds. I've lost 110

to date and still want to lose another 150. But you

know what....we'll both do it. We'll both get there.

Hi ,

Well I started at 235 (I'm 5'4 " ). My heavy picture is in the photos

section. I had my surgery 7.5 months ago on 4/2/04 and I have lost 88

pounds. Currently I'm 147, about 12 pounds from my low goal, 7 from my

high goal.

Although I wasn't one of the heaviest people to have WLS I was

definitely heading that way. This surgery has changed my life, saved my

health (mental and physical) and I am grateful every day that I had it

done.

How much have you lost?

Okay girls......

Since I'm so new and unfamiliar with everyone's journey, when was your

surgery and how much have you lost? Looks if I'm one the big girl here

LMAO I weigh in right now at 282. I started at 388 had to get to 355 to

have Lap. I have 140 pounds to goal! Long road ahead of me.

Hi .

I went to surgery on September 19, 2003 at 278. I am 5 " 3 " . Size

24/26 and 3X- 4X.

On my one year anniversary I had lost 130 pounds and weighed in at

148. Size 6 or 8. Medium/Large top (due to HUGE batwings (8 inch

hang of skin)!!

I have since reached a low of 137 (for about 2 hours LOL) with a

total weight loss of 141 pounds of ugly unwanted fat!!

However, I am very swollen with edema right now and my weight has

been bouncing around as high as 148! Then it plummets as much as 5

pounds in one day. I know I am not eating enough to gain any fat but

it is scary to see the scale move the wrong way. I had to leave the

house in sweatpants one day. Couldn't zip my jeans without fear of a

blood clot!

I am going to hit the gym runnning as soon as I kick this nasty

virus and get those fluids pouring out of my body!!

I started out at 219.6 pre-op, and I had surgery on September 5,

2003. I now weigh between 124 and 125. That's roughly 95 pounds offa

this short (5'2 " ) body.

September 4, not 5. That's a typo. No big deal, but still...
