My age and starting weight...anyone close?



Recommended Posts

I started at 388. I am 10 days out of surgery and am 346. I'm 36. Wondering if anyone is close to my age and size and how much they've lost. Thanks in advance!

Hiya, I started about 15lb higher than you and I'm 37, so close-ish. I'm exactly 2 months post op and have lost 50lb. Good luck on your journey!

It's fine to ask if the comparison is fun and interesting to you. You and anyone who responds are not each other, though. You won't necessarily have the same track record as those who've been losing most rapidly. You'll probably do very well, but keep realistic expectations. You must have read Hamlet along the way. Polonius' advice to Laertes will serve you well:

This above all, to thine own scale be true...

All the best to you.

I am in the program now through mayo Clinic. I started out at 408 lbs and am 35 yrs old. I now weigh around 370 (with a goal of around 350 before surgery) and that is just the weight loss/exercise portion of the program. I don't even have a surgery date yet. Will figure that out once I finish all the requirements of the program.

Finally, someone who's my age and weight range.

Hi! My name is Jane, I am 37 current weight is 360 lbs. my height is 5'2 BMI IS 64

I am nowhere near a surgery date as of yet. But looking forward to seeing how you progress as we're in the same range.

I have my first appointment to meet the surgeon on September 9th. Not sure exactly what to expect aside from the usual health questions.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
