Hello everyone,

I am new to this board and am wondering how much weight people need to lose or have lost. I would like to lose 160-170 lbs, I am hoping this is the right surgery for me. I am not sure how successful people are with that kind of weight loss with the sleeve. Anyway-thanks for taking the time to read my question.

300lbs

300lbs

Girl you better take that frowny face off of there!

You are going to do great, I don't care if you have 100 or a 1000 to lose, You are doing something about it and that in my book is awesome!

Sometimes it hits me just how lucky we are to be able to have this surgery, no matter what our weight is. I see people everyday that need this surgery and for whatever reason can't do it...

100-110. I'm on the pre-op supervised right now and have lost 22 lbs. Last pcp visit is Thursday. Then all the paperwork will be submitted to ins. I will still need to lose 100-110 though.
