I notice that must sleeves are in the high 200's but is there anyone who started higher. My weight day off was 362 give or take a pound....my doctor told me the most common procedure for my weight was the bypass but the long term results are very much the same. Im 5'7" but I definitely strated off way bigger than some posts I see...just curious to know I'd I'm alone lol

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.

High weight 325 (undocumented at 332). I'm 191.6 15 months post op. Insurance approved on first try.

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 ?

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

I was 440. Date of surgery 332. Now 220

@@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

@@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.

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.

Wow pretty close, I as 398 last December, down to 388 by January, 362.2 First dr appt, 346 on wed the 10th, 9 days post o today probably at 322-326, I want this, already at the gym

I was 387.6 on the day of my surgery (6/18) and am down 21 pounds in a little under 2 weeks. Pleased!
