Sleevers over 300lbs?

[Countrygrrl 450]

I started out over 360.. Not positive how much above but I dos I was 314 now I'm 254 5 months out. It's a lot of work but it's possible! It's so nice to be capable of doing healthy things now!

Great job Countrygrrl! I agree that it has been a lot of hard work. The sleeve is only a tool to use to help us succeed and without the proper state of mind our results would be much slower or we would just fail. I just passed 10 months out and I have lost 197 lbs. that was with the Dr wanting me to maintain my weight for 2 months. Keep up the great work, you are looking great each day, keep saying that. And hope to hear of more of your success.

Just curious. Because I'm 330 lbs I can not wear shoes with any heel ( it kills my feet). Has anyone had the same problem which has been resolved after losing weight ?

[Countrygrrl 450]

yes yes and yes to the heel question. I love this benefit to weight loss

@@WasBigInMaryland Wow!!! Congrats on that success!! I was 491 at my highest and 422 on surgery day (Dec 17 2014). I weigh in tomorrow for my weekly weigh-in and am hoping to hit 322 (100 lbs down from surgery!) this week. After that I have 3 more weeks until my 6 month anniversary so I can't wait to see how the next three weeks go! Crossing my fingers! May I ask how long ago you had surgery/how long it took you to get down to 220?

heynowkc, I had my surgery in Dec. 2013 about 10 months later I was at 220. My doctor told me a was dropping weight quick. He told to have a chocolate bar now and then. I thought he was joking. I usually stay between 220 and 226 now a days

[heynowkc 329]

@@WasBigInMaryland Wow that is very fast!!! I'd have to lose another 100 lbs in the next 5 (4.75) months to hit that loss in 10 months. Not sure I could do that too (your results are definitely not typical I am guessing!) but hey, I'd love to try! Hit my 100 lb mark since surgery today btw! Actually a little over. Yippee!

@@heynowkc, congratulations keep up the good work

I started at 372...down to 263...6 months months out. Love my sleeve!

That is awesome to hear and very encouraging, before our daughter was born 7 yrs ago I was down 60 lbs to 340lbs then two years ago I was shocked, I weighed in at 400lbs, so last two years hovered around 380lbs, then when I started this journey was weighed two weeks ago at 362.2, now following my pre op diet and 11 days away, I think I will be down to between 348-354lbs, which will help me greatly with surgery and recovery, especially walking, thank you for your post, these forums really keep me upbeat

I was 316 when I started. Down 75 lbs.

[craigcu 96]

I was 376 on my surgery date at 5/19, one month post op I am 346.. Program start weight was 396.. Its a tough tool to use, but I think it will be worth it.. I am already off of diabetes medicines and looking to come off high blood pressure medicine in another two weeks. Get rid of Cpap in 2 months maybe when I get under 300. Co-morbidities dropping away as fast as my weight.

Target weight, 233.
