      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

    I also started higher, and am 5 months out today. I've lost quite a bit, so it can be done. Sorry to hear you had issues. How are you, and what type of complications have you had?
