I too have 100 pounds to lose as well; however I really would like lose 120 if possible. We all took this big step together - we have to stay on course and be positive. We are all in this together.:)

Hey texashopeful! I am in mesquite and 29, and I had surgery on June 15, 2010! i started my preop at 287, at 265 on surgery date, and at almost 7 weeks out about 243. It seems like its coming off slow compared to some others, however Just this week I was able to put on a 1x top and a size 20 jeans! It was quite exciting, i called and told everyone I know. at this point I would like to lose another 100 pounds, because I have curves, and honestly cant see myself at 120. Maybe when I am closer I will change my mind huh? good luck to all

I was one of those folks too. . . and guess what I DID it, took me 7 months. . . I still have about 50 more to go though. . . now it's really slow, doctor told me the best thing to do now is change up my routine. . . do different exercises, eat different foods, etc. . . shake up the body a bit. . . going to start that Monday, lets see what happens!

I've got around 160 to lose! And although the doc says not to expect 100% weight loss, that's what I wanna do! I'm 9 days post op and actually I don't have 160 anymore, I've got 138!

I, too, need to lose 100+ lbs. According to the medical charts for recommended weight, I need to lose betweeen 122 to 152 lbs. I'm presently, pre-op so that sounds really hard. But if, I'm approved for this procedure, I plan to be successfully! All your encouraging stories has helped me to think more postively on achieving goals. I really can't wait to feel good again - I don't like the way my body reacts and feels these days.:)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
