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

Weight on surgery day was 365. Now 284!!

When was your surgery? And congrats!

I started at 338. Current weight is 193.

Surgery date was 5-18-12. I'm 5'7.

Awesome job! You give me hope

I'm 332 and my surgery date is may 28th! I was starting to feel like a whale seeing people who are 180 and wanting the surgery <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> lol!

Seriously totally felt the same way LOL!!

I started at 330 and was 310 at the time of my surgery.

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

Thanks! I'm just happy I'm no longer working 7 days a week!

I'm 388 down 117 lbs

My top weight was 341 and I am 5 foot 2.5. I am 257 right now after 5 1/2 months. I hope to get to about 180 in next year or so. I'm a 42 year old grandma who is raising my 3 yr old grandson alone so my routine includes dvd exercising and running around the garden. I'm not at a gym.
