I would especially like to hear from people similar to me. I am 5'6, 287. Can you tell me how much you were from day one of surgery, 3,6,9, and 12 months later. I am interested in hearing from others that are two years or more post as well. Thank you.

I'm only 6 months post-op, but here are my stats so far.

Sleeved August 12, 2011

5'4", Surgery Weight: 221.75 lbs

3 months post-op: 181.4 lbs

6 months post-op: 154.3 lbs

5'6"

Highest weight: 260

Start of pre-op diet, Feb. 15, 2011: 254

Day before surgery, May 16, 2011: 222

One month post op: 201.2

Three months post op: 180.7

Six months post op: 150.4

Nine months post op: 139 (4 lb.s from goal, 21.8 BMI)

I worked out before surgery so I had muscle mass going in. As soon as I felt better and was cleared for exercise at 6 weeks, I started my routine again. Used to work out with a trainer 3 X per week and walk twice per week. Now I take two exercise classes and meet with trainer 1 x per week. Still walking 2x per week. I think I am going to have to add a little more exercise to get the last 4 lbs. off and stay at that weight. Maybe walk one more day and add a one more exercise class.
