19 months post-op, lost 130 lbs, stable at 155 for the last six months. Best decision ever!

5 wish post op(4/30/13) ..down 25lb... Have about 60 more to go

Surgery 4/29. Down 27. 47 altogether. HW 297 GW 160- 170. Good luck to all!

I'm almost 6 months post op on the 17th and I have lost 97 lbs total and 87 since surgery. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

That is awesome!! Congrats!!

I'm in the pre op stage have completed the requirements, just waiting for everything to get sent to my surgeon, and then get it into insurance my surgeon thinks August. My highest weight was 360, and that was last May after moving to a new town since then I worked out for 1 hour and 45 minutes, have had set backs with injuries to my ankle not once but twice, and my bulging disc flared up and wasn't able to work or workout, but didn't let it get me down only gained a couple pounds, but have lost that. Went to see the surgeon couple weeks and was 321 today I weighed myself I was 314. It helps that I see a dietitian. The hospital wanted me to lose 30 pounds and I have gone past that, really going to help when I get a chance to get exercising again, right know I'm doing pt, and hoping to be done with that tomorrow. For people that are thinking of getting gastric bypass, I recommend doing as many dietitian appoints you can even if your insurance doesn't require it. You learn a lot, and lose weight, it then shows your insurance that you can lose weight, and keep it off. Good luck to anyone that is pre op or post op.

Lapband removed and bypass on 3/6/13. HW 265, date of surgery weight 230, weight today 190.5. I'm 34 and 5'6".

Things r going well. Except I seem to b slipping back into old sugary eating habits. It scares me. And I can eat more than I should b able to. Still super happy I had the surgery.

I'm still in the pre-op phase. Going to get my feedback from the psych eval next week and my last NUT appt is the 19th. Then we'll submit to insurance and play the waiting game :/. My highest was over 330 as of March 2012. I got down 280 and now I'm 285. Trying to lose 10lbs before my last NUT visit via the Pre-Op diet.

I am on the last 2 days of my pre op liquid diet. Lost 15 lbs so far. Started at 337.8 down to 322.8 and I have lost 7 inches already total. My surgery is this Thursday!
