I'm pretty close to your beginning stats too. 5'6 and 285 at pre-op. I lost 20 on pre-op diet & was down 103 total at six months. I went from a size 24/2x to a 10/M at this point. I haven't been excercising very much to be honest. I'm currently 175 pounds at 7 1/2 months out.

Congrats to everyone.

My stuff's in my signature--but I'm 6'2", so quite a bit taller than you. I started in a tight size 26/28, 3X/4X; now I'm in a comfortable 14 on bottom, 16 on top (still have some of the girls left, LOL!), size L or XL, depending on the article of clothing.

Just had my wedding ring resized, since I figure I'm pretty much not going to drop too much more from my fingers at this point. :-)

Today is my 10 month surgiversary!

Sleeved 4/13/2011

Height 5'5"

Start weight -210.5

Today - 143.4

BMI went from 35 to 23.9

Went from a size 18 to size 8 in 10 months - I am so grateful everyday that I made the decision to have wls, and that I chose the sleeve. I can't say it's for everyone, but it's definitely the right choice for me.

Dr. Aceves did my surgery, great experience and highly recommend him.
