I notice that must sleeves are in the high 200's but is there anyone who started higher. My weight day off was 362 give or take a pound....my doctor told me the most common procedure for my weight was the bypass but the long term results are very much the same. Im 5'7" but I definitely strated off way bigger than some posts I see...just curious to know I'd I'm alone lol

GIRLRFRIDAY...great, keep up the good work. Haven't made it to my stall yet since I'm such a newbie. But im sure the slow but steady will prevail in this scenario.
IVORYOWL....keep pushing that is great that you dr is trying to get you at a lower bmi early because then later it will be much easier. I know many insurance companies put restrictions on people as well. Cant wait til you post your date!

Thanks ladies you helped ease a lot of concern. I originally started at 400 as well, it's great to see you all doing so good. Can't wait until I'm losing fifty plus....

They did. But my issue was I "thought" instead of checked. I was very clear on the clear liquid but when I heard full later im like ok. Basically some smart people are dumb...and I had a dumb moment.

It's been 2 years since my surgery. I am now 220 started at 400, sleeved at 360.

It's been 2 years since my surgery. I am now 220 started at 400, sleeved at 360.

My surgery was May 2013. So far I have lost 175.

My doctor told me the same thing. He said due to my bmi, the bypass would be the only thing that would help me get the most results. My fear was the side effects of the dumping syndrome with the by pass. And while I understand that side effects are minimized if you follow directions, I also recognize that I am human and may eat something that just disturbs me. Either way I started at 410, by surgery I was 365. This was may 2013, I am now 220 and have maintained this weight for over a year. Honestly, my dr. Would like for me to be 150 but I am happy where I am. I may go for 190 -- but going from a size 32 to a size 14 made me happy enough . Make the best decision for you!

I never realized that so much socialization was done around food until I had my surgery. From pot.lucks at work to happy hour with friends. I was extremely depressed after my surgery when ever food was the center of the event. In fact I had my surgery in may so the entire summer cook out events we a no go. I felt like I was isolating myself and those around me appeared to be annoyed by my constant 4 ounce rules. Either way, I am 2 years out and after about 5 months life became a lot better. I don't know what happened with your friends but if they are real that can be repaired or you will definitely gain new ones. But as for food and cigarettes - which I had to give up also...i understand and you will make it.through I promise. Congrats on your progress and good luck!!!!
