I'm up there with you!! Surgery on June18th not exactly sure what my weight will be on surgery day yet (have a month to lose and 2 weeks of liquid diet ) but will start out WELL over 300 (hopefully around 340).

My heaviest was 322 April 15 surgery day was 305. Now I'm 290....it's been 1 month. 15lbs. Isn't as much as others but I'm following all the rules & it's better than nothing. Guess I'm a slow loser! LOL I'm glad to see there some more of us 300+ sleevers ;o)

[SeriouslyChange 319]

Highest weight: 330

Surgery day: 305

Current weight: 220

I'm short, 5'4, so the weight is obvious on me, not that I could hide it...

Progressing along nicely I think. Not as fast as some, but slow and steady wins the race

[BBBarbie 18]

Thats fantastic!! How long has it been for you? I'm 5'1 so ya ...really visible LOL always thought 5'4 would be a perfect height.

I'm 456 lbs right now, my heaviest was around 480. My surgery should be sometime next month, still trying to nail down the date as we're closing on a house and I need to move before the surgery.

[AmandaRaeLeo 2,145]

I'm 5'9. My highest weight was 405 lbs. surgery day weight was 387 lbs. Last weigh in weight on 5/3 was 342 lbs. I weigh every two weeks to avoid stressing out over every ounce.

My bmi is almost in the 40's. I'm very pleased!

Surgery day was 3/18.

I'm excited that so many of us can work collectively to leave to 300+ club and probably the 200+ lol....we all lose differently...One day at a time...or should I say one pound at a time. Lol

That's a lot to have on your plate at once. Best of the best to you in both!

Awesome thread! I was wondering that myself since a lot of people seem to be in the 200's when they start I'm a little different scenario because I am 6' tall. I had surgery 4/22 and am currently in the dreaded 3 week stall...it sucks!!

Starting weight 353

day of surgery 328

# weeks out 313

[Ivoryowl 13]

I am around 450 now and have 3 months and 50 lbs to go before I get a surgery date. ( Dr wants bmi down to 60 before surgery)

GIRLRFRIDAY...great, keep up the good work. Haven't made it to my stall yet since I'm such a newbie. But im sure the slow but steady will prevail in this scenario.

IVORYOWL....keep pushing that is great that you dr is trying to get you at a lower bmi early because then later it will be much easier. I know many insurance companies put restrictions on people as well. Cant wait til you post your date!

I started at 335, surgery day i was 322 and am now 294 and had my surgery 3 weeks ago

My surgeon told me he didn't want to influence my decision but he did say may good things about the sleeve so I decided and am happy with it!
