Is there anyone who is in the 400's 300's

Who has had vsg? I'm constantly seeing people in the 200's and me being in the 3'00s I would like to see and hear more about people around my size also I would like to know if you guys lost half of your weight.

Yep! Look for posts by BigFrank. Also there are forums for support groups by amount to lose, just like there are for region and surgery type. You might also look for 50+ BMI as well as there will probably be a significant overlap. VSG is not only a standalone surgery, but can also be the first part of a two-step surgery called the duodenal switch (DS), which is specifically aimed at people with a very high BMI.

I was 312 when I entered the program, but lost 14 lbs. before surgery. My highest weight was actually a few years ago, but I was at 335 then.

My highest weight was 423. BMI about 54 or so.

At 5 months I am 320# with a BMI of 44. I lost a lot before surgery as well and I have a lot more to go. But what the heck, might as well... can't dance... :-)

My highest weight was 355, that was when I decided to move forward with surgery June of 2012. I lost about 60 lbs pre-op and was just under 300 on surgery day. Today I'm at 204 and never happier. Losing slow now, but I'll take it gladly!

Good luck !

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
