Whose start weight is 255 or more?

[cheyenneb 3]

I'm less than a week away from surgery and couldn't be more excited. I'm 255 and have 130 pounds to lose and am nervous I won't make it to my goal. I know if I stick to the plan I will get there but I'm just curious to see if anyone feels the same?!

I'm only 5'3" and I started at 265. One day at a time You can do it!!

I'm 5'7" and started at 301. It actually shocked me that I weighed that much when I saw it. I'm now 283 and will surely lose more on my pre-op diet before my actual day of surgery, which is Feb 18th. I'm not at all scared I won't lose the weight. I'm in it to win it. I know it'll be hard. The hardest thing I'll probably ever do, but this tool is going to give me my life back and I plan on living it to the fullest. At goal.

I'm 5'2 and my starting weight was 265. Now 8 months out and almost to the 100 lb lost mark. It has been slower than the surgeon expected but I have a lot of stress in my life at the moment. I am just happy the weight is still coming off.

My start weight was 267.2, height 5'7". I'm seven weeks post-op, and my weight is now 216.3, so down 50.9 pounds (34.1 pounds down since my surgery date). I have had zero complications, and in my case, this surgery has hardly even been a disruption. Nothing I've ever done to lose weight before has ever been so effective. I still worry that I wont lose the other 81 pounds I need to lose to get to goal, but I'll keep doing my best and working this tool, and we'll see what happens. If the first seven weeks is any indication of what the rest of my life will be like, I'm pretty well set up. So far, I love my sleeve!
