I was sleeved on December 5, 2012 and I was weighing 202 pounds on the day of surgery. I had to go through a six-month weight loss program which I started at 227pounds In order to be approved By insurance. I would like to know if there's anyone else out there that started at this lower weight? It is sometimes difficult to compare yourself to people who started at a higher weight it seems like everything is slower.

I was also sleeved on Decmber 5th. Weighing 222. I know its not as low as you but its in the low 200's.

I was 193.5 on my surgery date (8/31) and am 145 today. My first month I lost 23 pounds, the second was only about 8 but I dropped 3 clothes sizes that month. Last month was 10 pounds and another size. I'll take slower losses, I'm hoping it will help with loose skin issues.

Hi Ginny!

I'm not scheduled to be sleeved until Feb 18th but my current weight is 219. I'll be happy with any loss, even if it's slow. I've been maintaining ~220 for the last 10-15 years, hope to get to and maintain a much lower weight!

Well, I am happy that I am losing, I have been up and down my whole life. My highest was 227 and it happened in a blink of an eye. I hope this tool that I have been given will help me lose, keep losing and keep it off. I hope to hear more from you.

Everyone looked at me like what are you doing here, but there was much more going on physically and mentally. I may not be as big as a lot of people who get this surgery but I am definitely obese. I hope to get rid of so many ailments, medications, depression and over all feel better about myself.

Ginny-- you are going to have a new lease on life!! Full appreciation of all the wonderful things in life and realize you DO deserve all the happiness!!

Hey Ginny,

I'm a revision surgery, had my lap band removed and sleeved Dec 10th, weight at surgery 194.5lbs

I was 209 the day of surgery, Oct 15th. I am 189 today. I hit a 3 week stall at week 3, and stayed at 193, but just started to move again....finally

Hi

I was 200lb on day of surgery, that was 6 weeks ago. I am 175 now x

P.S I don't know how to change my ticker, can anyone tell me?

Hi all!

I was sleeved last week (12/4). I started going to my surgeon in early Oct and weighed 232.

Day if surgery I was 217. Today I weighed 211.

Hope that helps. I am seriously ready to see the pounds fall off!!!

Hi I started at 235. Day of surgery 11-13-12 I was 225. Today I am at 209. I read about massive weight being dropped from people who were sleeved the same day as me . But we are all different and I try to be happy with my loss. Oh and by the way I'm 5'4 .

199 was my sw, dec 3 was the big day and I am down 14 PDs.... But that's been the same for two days. Still on full liquids...

I think my official weight on my day of surgery (7/18/12) was 209. I am 146 today, 63 down.

Hi. My highest weight was 215. I lost weight during the two week diet before surgery, but I'm not sure how much. I would assume about 10 pounds. That would make me around 205 on the Day of surgery. I am now 144. I had the surgery June 20.

Go to your patient profile (under your name) and change the numbers there, it will update the ticker.
