For the purposes of this forum, I've seen most people give 3 weights: highest (HW), surgery (SW), and current (CW).

So mine is HW 310ish, SW 255, CW 226 (surgery 12/14/15)

I count from surgery weight. My highest was 340 years ago, my surgery weight was 320 my current is 228, but I will say I've lost 91lbs not 112. ;-) that's just my personal opinion though.

I use the weight I was at the beginning of my 2 week pre op diet. I didn't do much dieting before those 2 weeks so that was probably my highest weight anyway.

HW 321, SW 314, CW 188 surgery was 5/20/2015.

What weight to you use for your starting weight? Your highest? Your weight when you started the pre-op liquid diet? Your weight on the day of your surgery?

My starting weight is what I weighed in at at my first WLS appointment, 335.

As my starting weight I used what I weighed the day I started my preop diet (which also happened to be my heaviest).

Thanks everyone! I've decided to use the highest weight I've had since I started the revision approval process. Which was when I started the pre-op diet I'd December for a surgery that was cancelled the day before surgery.

HW - 249

SW - 240

CW - 231

My surgeon's office considers my starting weight to be what it was the day of my first appointment. I consider it to be what it was the day I decided to pursue surgery and scheduled an appointment (which also happened to be my highest weight).

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
