My husband and I are both going through this process. I have to lose about 100 lbs, he has to lose 230 or so. He is very nervous that this procedure will not work for him. Has anyone gone through this needing to lose that much? Please let me know some positive outcomes!!

Yes! I started out at 400lbs and to make it to goal I need to loose about 220lbs. On Wednesday I will be 4 months out and I am already down 100lbs and still going. My surgeon expects me to make it to goal within the year. This is an amazing procedure, and if you follow the guidelines your surgeon lays out for you, you WILL loose the weight. I wish you and your husband the best of luck on this journey!

I started at 380 and need to loose about 240 to get to where they say I should be. I am 4 months out and now weight 279, so it is very doable for larger folks. Good Luck.

So were these weights the day of surgery, or the day you guys started the process for surgery?

I was 450 when I started the program, lost 60 lbs in 9 months pre-op, and have lost 38 more in 9 weeks post-op. I feel confident that I will be able to reach my goal of 150, a 300 lb total loss. The sleeve is a great tool, you just have to follow the directions! :)

I just had a sleeve conversion two days ago. Your almost in the category I was. How easy has the weight been coming off. I started out at about 510 had the lap band and lost over 100 but then gained when I had the band removed. The doctor said I had to wait about 6 weeks after band removal. It was hell. The wait just kept piling on. Do you exercise a lot? My knees are really bad and its very difficult. Could use some encouraging stories

My knees are shot, so I haven't been exercising at all so far. I hope to be able to as more pressure is removed from my knees as I lose more weight.

I've been losing about 4 lbs a week on average. I just got over a 2-week stall - have dropped a pound a day on average this week. My total loss is now 102 lbs, 42 in the not-quite 10 weeks since surgery. I do get hungry for my meals, but it doesn't take much to satisfy that hunger. I eat about 1000 calories a day, shooting for 35% Protein, 35% carbs, and 30% fats and try to drink 8-10 cups of Water a day.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
