    I started out at 425. I just had my surgery and am down 72 pounds from my highest weight.

    It's the only way to drop the weight I need to lose.

    Good luck!

    Jersey Girl -- thanks for always being available to help all. You get a gold star from me!!

    I'm not in your area, but I started right at 400. My max weight was about 430. I'm 216 now and ounces from my goal.

    Wow you look great! Thanks I'm kinda nervous abt having the sleeve done because I didn't really think I would lose much with it, but apparently it can be done!

    Hi Nakeia, I was 445 at the start of my liquid diet which lasted 28 days. In that time period of 28 days I lost 49 lbs and was sleeved on the 28th day at 396 lbs. There is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON that you can't lose ALL of your extra weight. The battle is in your own head. Once you master that you will succeed.

    You are 100% right BigFrank!

    People shouldn't always believe everything their doctor's tell them. My surgeon wanted to do a DS on me, which statistically was a better option. I wouldn't have it due to the increased risk and life long issues associated with a DS. You are basically trading obesity for side effects.
