Anyone 370 lbs or more?



Recommended Posts

Sleeved on Feb 10, 2017 weighing 372. Today I weigh 338.

I didn't have a preop diet, but I highly recommend it. I had a lot of head hunger, but pretty much have solved it.

SW 372 GW 260

When I made the decision to have the surgery I weighed 368. On the day of surgery I weighed 332. Now, almost 3 months out I weigh 287.4. So I've only lost 44.6 pounds since surgery. I was expecting a greater weight loss since I had such a high BMI (general rule of thumb, the more you weigh when you start the faster you lose... but doesn't take into account things like thyroid) but oh well... such is life.

My first visit I was 687 lbs. By my surgery date 12/28/15 I was 643 and now just over 14 months after surgery I'm down to 381. It's been a hard year having 2 surgeries (VSG and then a panniculectomy this past October) but it has totally changed my life...and given me my life back. Still plenty to go but I feel tremendous....as hard as this past year has been I'd do it again in a heartbeat with no hesitation for all I've gotten back in return.

Started at around 640. I got myself down to around 510 and then wet into the whole insurance process for surgery. Got down to 470 for the surgery (1-23-17). As of today, 424.

Date started- 404
Current 343
Surgery in Thursday so we'll see. I'm think 340 the way things are going.

I started eating like a post op early on and it was hard at first but if you push through it is possible. Feel like I'm in a much better place mentally and physically for surgery now. My personal goal weight is around 190. So 150 to go post op.

      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!!
