Anyone bigger than me tat went thru the ops?

I keep having the fear of dying during ops as i am

Really too big.. I'm 355lbs

I'm pretty sure we have some sleevers who started out at 500+

I think you will be ok as long as you get clearance and testing done.

dont be afriad i was afraid as well. i just said to myself god has a plan for me and if its his plan for me to go at that time no need to worry its something i cant change. you will be fine have you been ona pre op diet yet

I supposed to have the ops 2 months ago but I failed Optifast... I keep thinking of FOOD!!!

there are plenty of people that start bigger then you. you can do it!

I started at 431!

I started at 330. had no complications at all. I am 5 months post op and have lost 100 lbs. You'll be fine.

i haven't done mine yet, but i'm 450-ish (probably 430-ish now)

i've seen people on here my size & bigger that have gotten it & lived...

to be honest, i'm scared, too.. because being bigger, you require more anesthesia.. it's scary.. but i mean.. at least for me.. it's not like i'm doing this because i think it will be easy or because i even want to... but because i NEED to, to survive! when it's a matter of survival.. and quality of life.. then you just gotta do what you gotta do to get better.. and really try.. it's not a quick fix, it's a tool to help you become healthier and normal.. y'know?

so yeah.. can't blame you for being nervous or scared.. i am, too.. but i'm sure you'll be fine & you won't regret getting it. and me, too!

600+..... went through the surgery fine. Came home from the hospital the next day and have lost 75lbs in 5 weeks. You will be fine.

Have you been to a therapist? You need to address this issue before the surgery. Surgery is not a a cure all. It is a tool that you have to learn how to use correctly or you are setting your self up for failure. I wish you the best of luck on your journey.

Hi,

When will u be having the ops?

I understand tat it's very impt to go thru the liquid diet phrase... A lot got to depends on will power... I'm real lousy!!

Im still pre op but I'm around 370 so your not alone hopefully I loose at least 10 more pounds on the pre op diet. Good luck to you!

I started at 373, surgery went fine, still able to do it without going 'open'. I've had practically NO complications. On a side note, I'm only 5'6" so 373 means 56" waist 28" inseam, 5-6x shirt. So, yeah, I was a beach ball with hands and feet.

It is normal to have fears, we all did at some point

Did you have Intubation before they put u to sleep?

No I was asleep for everything.
