I'm not full in your requirements, but my highest was 289. Day of surgery was 273. Now I'm about 196, so 93 pounds down total, 77 since surgery. Oh, and I'm 5'7" if it matters.

I'm preop but I've seen lots of people here (and also on OH) lose over 100lbs with VSG. I get worried because my starting weight is quite a bit higher then a lot of the folks on here and have double that to loose so I hope and pray I can do it!

Hi - I'm 5'6" and I was 338 at the highest I ever saw on the scale, 307 day or surgery, and am 249 today. It will be 6 months on July 31. Good luck to you!

Hi there,

I am 5' 10", started process at 303 and today weigh 198. Goal is 170 and am 8 1/2 months post surgery. The bulk of the weight came off the first 5-6 months. It has taken me 3 months to lose 18 lbs, but I keep moving forward and exercise for 40 minutes 3-4 times a week, always get all of my Water in.

I definitely feel more hungry now, I still track carbs, calories daily through MFP. I think part of the reason for the slow down is I am getting closer and honestly, I am eating more (4 oz of Protein first ALWAYS). I go to see my surgeon next week for check-up, so we will see what they think. My calories stay under 1200, with a rare occasion they have gone up over the line but, by no more than 100. My son turned 17 last week and I had a small piece of his b-day cake but do not eat Cookies, pie etc. Not many sweets, or fruit either because I reserve for Protein and do not want to go over my counts.

Sorry more than maybe you wanted...have a great week.

It's not really a fear, but a concern. Since wait loss with the VSG can vary so much I briefly consider a different surgery for bigger losses, but then I remind myself of why I'm not doing the other possible surgeries. I have a large goal, and I don't hear many female VSG'ers in the weight bracket of near 300 getting down to 120-130lbs in a short amount of time if at all.

But congrats to everyo.ne else where ever they are in their journey.

Want to lose 16 more, but ok where I am.

Will start to finally work out this week coming up. I hope I stick with it. Skin is pretty bad. Going for consult in August 3rd for inner thigh lift. Wouldn't have the surgery until January.

I want to enter the whillimeana 30+ model contest. I actually want to model...which is what I should have done had I not been fat.

I started at 352 before my pre-op diet. I'm 5'8 and I'm 10.5 months out and 110 pounds lost. I see and feel my goal weight coming. It IS doable!!! At goal, I will have lost 162 pounds and I'll reevaluate my goal at that point. I'm seriously considering plastics as well, breast lift/augment and Tummy Tuck because it's looking like I will need them.

You can be a plus model. I was briefly in the plus modeling world. Especially since you have the height. Go for it.
