Guest guest Posted July 20, 2001 Report Share Posted July 20, 2001 I am 5'7 " and started at 312. I too, carried/carry most of my weight in my hips, rear, and at the end, my tummy too (post 2 kids). I had my surgery 1-15-01 and have lost 80# also. I am 40 now (7/13). I started at size 26/28 pants (some 30's) and am now in 20's (some 18's). I want to lose another 75# or so, and figure I can do that in the next year or so. That's taking the 18 month loosing window into consideration. So 80# in 5-6 months is right on track Colleen - Iowa 1-15-01 DS Dr.Buchwald U of MN 312/232/160 > Hi Everyone > > I am about 5'8 " started at 319.5.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2001 Report Share Posted July 20, 2001 Hi TJ, How long did he make your common channel? He made mine 90cm which is longer than many others. I seem to be losing slower than most too but I figure my 90 cm common channel may be why. I am 5'6 " , started at 306. My DS was 3/8/01 and at about 4 1/2 months post op I have lost 64 lbs.
