I would like to know if anyone have or are having surgery with a BMI over 50 and that weigh or have weighed over 450 lbs.

I dont weigh 450, but i do have a BMI of 60. I'm planning to get sleeved. I'm currently in the process of getting my insurance and surgeons requirements completed - psych eval and a sleep study.

I was over 500 at my highest weight. I was sleeved April 20 and was at 430 the last time I weighed.

@innersurfergirl...Congratulations! That is wonderful.

Thank you ladies you calmed me down a bit. My surgery date is September 16th.

I started in April at 480. I'm still pre-op. I still have a month and half of my insurance mandated 6 month dr observed diet. I'm currently at 418. My bmi is still high but I have another month to go before I get a surgery date. I'm trying to lose as much as I can till that point. Your not alone.

Message me anytime.

@Ismith715 you have done a great job losing your weight! I was 527 and now I am 463. I start my 2 weeks of liquid preop diet on September 2nd. I am glad we can support each other.

Hi! I'd like to be on this club. : ) I was 450, lost 25 on two week liquid diet. Now I'm 4 days post op. Good luck to all of you!

So far what I've lost preop has come off fairly easy. I hope post op is just as easy. You guys are doing great too. It feels better with every pound gone. They are gone forever but definitely not forgotten.

I hope so!

My BMI was over 50, but I did not weigh 450. My starting weight was 366. I was sleeved on July 7th!

When i started my BMI was 59.5 i was not 450 lbs however i was 383lbs, this was back in oct 2014 - 10 months ago. I currently weigh 236 lbs and my BMI is at 37. I have lost 147 lbs and I'm still losing. It sometimes is hard to see so many reach their goal so quickly when i have so much more to lose. Don't let it get to you and just stay on your own course, just remember that people lose weight differently, and all at a different rate.

Best wishes to you all on your weight loss journeys!

Ty @@VSGmary!

I'm one week out & am curious how much exercise you're doing/did do at this stage?

I'm one week out & am curious how much exercise you're doing/did do at this stage?

At one week out I was just doing some walking. I didn't really start any significant exercise post-op until I was cleared to get in the pool.

My issues are I have bone on bone in both my knees so I will have to walk a bit with a walker and lay on my bed to lift my legs.
