I had the lap band at 385 7 years ago. Lost 175 lbs. Took it out and gained back 100. Now 320 and getting sleeved in 2 weeks. You are doing great! Your self image will take some time with how long it takes to lose the weight but the way you feel will catch up with your reality- it's gonna feel great just don't be too hard on yourself!

I will be sleeved on 12/12 and weigh 320. You can do it and will be in great health afterwards. I am six feet tall.

I'm currently 305 (was 328 before 6 month "medically supervised diet" for insurance) and will be sleeved on 12/19.

I'm currently 333 I just had my 2nd nutrition consult so I don't have surgery until march probably and my surgeon recommend RnY for me because reflux but he says realistically his goal for me is 180 I'm 5'10"

I will be sleeved early next year. My highest ever was probably around 400. I started with my surgeon at 350. I'm at about 340 now. I know what you mean about not being able to imagine yourself small. The lowest adult weight I remember being is around 215. But you can definitely be successful with the sleeve at a higher starting weight.

I was 376 at my heaviest weight. I lost some then went for surgery. On my surgery day I was 319, that was September 28, 2015. I am at 151.2 today at 14 months out from surgery. I want to get to about 140. Below is the most recent comparison picture I have, it was from October I think.

For some reason it didn't add in my picture in the other post.

I was close to 300 292 in January 251@ surgery 10/3 today 226. I still dont "see" the difference but scales and clothes don't lie. I wear belts I had that never fit the first hole now on the last. Jeans 24 now a 16w. Tops 24-26 now a 14-16. I was an 18 in high school. So at 38 this is so different. One day my eyes will catch up.

I was sleeved on 9/19/2016.

My January 1st 2016 weight (highest weight) was 354lbs.

My 9/19/2016 surgery day weight was 314lbs

this morning 10 weeks post op I am 277lbs.

I see it. I love it. Just be patient. You will notice you can do things you weren't able to before. I noticed the weight loss in my face before I saw it anywhere else... Take lots of pictures and get your measurements if you are able to... helps to see the inches move when the scale may not be...

three BIG things I notice about myself now that I didnt before...

1. I am starting to be able to cross my legs...

2. I can see my lady parts in the mirror when I am there...

3. My husband can wrap his arms around my whole body when hugging me.

I was 323 on the day of my surgery which was April 5, 2016, and the last time I weighed myself (October, 2016) I was 233. I go to the gym/hike, drink a ton of Water and eat very healthy. I will say that when someone compliments me about my weight loss my first reaction is always "really?!?", like I am shocked people notice. I don't know if that will ever change but I have never felt better.

I was 310 when I started my Options classes with Kaiser. I weighed 278.4 lbs on the date of my surgery which was 8/31/16. Yesterday, marked 3 months since surgery and I weighed in at 220.

Ironically, I wanted RNY but my surgeon said it was too risky for me because of a pre-existing huge hernia that I will be having reconstruction on in January.

I have been very happy with the sleeve and would highly recommend it.

You got this!
