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.

I'm hoping to lose 80-100

100 to 107lbs i would like to be 170...

My goal is somewhere between an 80Lb.-100Lb. loss.

My goal 120-130

I'd like to lose 80+but would be happy with 70.

130 total. Lost 106 so far!

Shooting for 80#s

I need to lose 175 - 200. :ph34r:

_{I'd love to loose about 55 pounds. One thing you should be aware of is that different doctors get different results. I work with 4 women that have all had the sleeve surgery about the same time. All went through the same doctors office but one used a different surgeon than the others. The one person that used a different surgeon can eat about 4 times what the other ladies can eat. She has barely lost 40 pounds and is really having to work hard to get that weight off. She is about 5 months out and the other ladies are about 6 to 4 months out and have lost 95 to 60 pounds. Make sure you get a personal referral about your surgeon if you can!}

Hopefully I will lose 130 lbs....so excited!!! May 22' date='2013 is my day[/quote']

I'm may 22nd also! Good Luck!

I need to loss about 140-160.

This is a tough one. On paper I should lose 145lbs so that would bring me to 150. BUT the last time I weighed that I was 11... I'm 28 now.

I have always been big and I just don't know how that will feel or look. So, the personal goal weight I'm aiming for is 170. That means I'd have to lose 120lbs and when I get there I will reevaluate where I need to be.

I carry the majority of my weight in my middle, and I just want that to be smaller because I've read that being an 'apple' shape is extremely hard on your heart.

Either way ANY amount of weight lost will be a win! Good luck everyone. Lets take it one day at a time because before we know it we will get there!

My goal is to weigh between 135-145. I started at 257 in September of 2012. My surgery was 12/18/12 and my surgery weight was 245 I am now at 186. I have at least another 41 pounds to go. I hope to be at goal by my one year mark if not sooner. My short term goal is 175 by June 21st, first day of summer.

My goal is 120 which is 120 from my pre surgery weight and 100 more pounds to lose.
