I'm 5'9 1/2 on the date of my surgery I was 272. My surgery was on 11/16. My goal is to reach 200lbs by my birthday in June and to loose 100 by my first year anniversary!

I'm 5'6" surgury weight 220# on 1-3-13

My lowest weight was by 8-1-13 at 148#

Steady by 1-1-14 at 150-155#

Gaining during 2015 up to 170# as of today 11-2015. Bad food choices.little exercise...not enough water.

Can't seem to get back on track. Feeling worthless...and such a failure. I know the process worked...I failed myself.

Hi, this is my first post so forgive me if I am not going about this the right way. I'm in this size range. 5'7" HW 232 BMI 36. I'm worried about excess skin. Did those of you on this post have a significant amount of skin after reaching your stable weight or were you able to tone up and make it work? I am fairly active and plan to continue to be but I'd probably rather stay this size if I'm going to have lots of skin hanging off me like some pictures I see. I want to hear from low BMI folks of similar size please.

Hi! I’m also 5’7 1/2” 226 BMI of 35. I’m one month pre op yet. Very interesting reading all of this! Some true inspiration stories here and weight loss time track envy! I’m praying to lose my hunger & extra pounds as quickly & steadily as possibly safe. I’ve got little support in my family And it’s more like everyone is waiting to see me fail & price them all wrong since I tried the obera balloon last fall & failed MISERABLY Then proceeded to gain over 25 pounds in the last year. I’m a retired police officer of 20 years and have ALWAYS been strong & in shape & proud of my mother of 3 body. Not anymore. I don’t even recognize myself. Scheduled for surgery 12/7/17. I’m 46 years old.
