So I'm hoping to have surgery in this upcoming January or February. I was wondering if anyone could provide some insight on how long they took off. I'm thinking of only taking a week off.

Also, has anyone went from like 300 to under 170. My ideal goal is 154lbs. I'm wondering if that's unrealistic and if I should set another goal.

I was 287 and am now 145

I was 333 and am now 156, so it's not necessarily unrealistic!

my surgery is next Monday and I'm only taking 2 weeks off, office/desk job...

i went from 408 to 167 , now i hover at 170 , not unrealistic at all. And i have a desk job and i was out 6 days.

If you make serious lifestyle changes and stick to them you have lose all the weight you want. I have lost 170lbs in 16 months, started heavier than you. I think I can lose down to 150ish if I want but I don't think I want to lose more han another 20 pounds.

I have gone from 319 to 156 in 13 months with the sleeve. You just have to stick to what your told to do by your dr and nut.

I took off two weeks and have an office job. I was glad for the two weeks to just rest and heal. I could have gone back after one week but for me it would have been hard.
