At the start of 2011 I weighed in at 344, that was my heighest weight that I know of since I hadn't weighed myself in a few years. I was told by my doctor to loose 15lbs as I was nearing pre-diabetic range. I set out to loose weight on my own diet and exercise regime. I lost 108 lbs. but then I got a new job and slacked on my regime, gained back 82 lbs. I decided I couldn't let this yo-yo weight loss be my life and decided to get surgery. My first appointment with Dr. Klem was 1/29/13 and I weighed 308 lbs. My surgery date was 6/19/13 and I weighed 270 lbs on my day of surgery. My goal is to be a healthy weight for my height which is between 140-155 lbs.
