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

Awesome......how is food to you now. Can you eat normal

I can eat normal food but in smaller portions. My only limitations are the ones I have imposed on myself. However, believe it or not I am fighting against an eating disorder. I started to eat only yogurt or liquids only for awhile when food was not sitting well or I couldn't think of what to eat. I am still battling but nut and my wife are helping me try to overcome it.

At my highest weight (Jan of 2012) I weighed 380. When I began pre-op (Mar 1, 2013) I weighed 355. My surgery was March 18th. I now weigh 280. I am 5'8" and 34 years old. My goal is somewhere under 175.

I started at 457, so no need to worry!

there is a sub forum on this board specifically for those of us with 200+ pounds to lose where y'all will find a lot of inspiration! My highest weight was 360 with a BMI of 60, my weight when I started considering surgery was 335 and my weight on surgery day was 290.. I'm currently at 260 with just over 100 more pounds to go. I too struggled between VSG and RNY and even DS.. but I truly believe that I can do it with the VSG.

Started at 318 but am a shrimp at 5'3 - my BMI was in the high risk range for surgery. Still losing with about 35 lbs to go to my healthy BMI goal.

My highest weight was 355. I am 7 months post op and down 119 pounds. Weighing in my last time at 236. Getting closer to goal everyday.

I was 333 on May/2012.... Today 180 lbs... i lost 43 lbs before surhery and 108 after my sleeve on oct 13th

I was 318 and I've lost 144 pounds in 9.5 months
