Hi all.

Just wondering. It seems my weight might be higher than most. Anyone else up this way? I get sleeved in less than 24 hours and ready to

Not feel this way!!

I started at 274 lbs and there are people on this board that started heavier than you. It will all work out as long as you stick with your program. Don't worry about the starting weight. You made a choice to be healthy. Focus on the steps that will get you there!

You must be reading the wrong threads! There are plenty here that are your starting weight and more. And have lost the weight quite nicely.

Good luck tomorrow!

My starting weight was 379. There were many people here who were in your weight rane. There are also many people with higher weights such as myself who have had great sucess.

Good luck on your surgery!

I'm 290 and one of my Dr's smaller patients. He feels I'm going to respond very well to the surgery but I guess only time will tell. I've been working out 3X/week with a personal trainer which he says will help. I'm 2.5 weeks from my sleeve date. Good luck to you!!!

I started at 407, surgery weight 388 on Jan 14th, and now, exactly 4 months later, my weight this AM was 296. Don't worry, as long as you follow the program, you will lose weight. VSG is a great tool for making weight loss manageable!

I started at 296 and am 219 six months later! Good luck!

I started at 316, sleeved at 294 and now I am 244, just over 3 months post op.

I'm starting at 295 lbs. (5'8") and I'm so READY to do this!

Best wishes and speedy recovery to you Helen! We're soon to be joining the ranks of the "Incredible Shrinking Women."

My scheduler is supposed to call today to let me know my sleeve date and I'm so nervous and excited.

Yes ! On my surgery day I was 290 I'm I've lost 80 pounds from my highest weight 10 pounds pre op and 4months out

[BlessedBeyondMeasure2012 296]

I was 297 on surgery day and was 269 this morning. I've been in a stall for the past two weeks. Still, 28 pounds in 7 and a half weeks ain't bad!! I'll take it You are going to do great!

[aquitenonnymouse 206]

I started at 330, and was 310-ish at surgery. You're not alone! There are TONS of us.

[katierebecca83 74]

I haven't had surgery yet, but I started this process in January at 311 & I'm now 297. Hoping to lose a little more before surgery, which will likely be in late June/early July.

[K Lee 11]

I started at 320 and I've lost 60 in a little over 2 months. My surgeon is very pleased.
