Starting Weight

[MonicaTurner911 1]

What was everybody starting weight ?? Mines is 366 but I’m 5’5 in a half. I’m kinda discouraged because of my weight, I’ve been reading on stories and haven’t seen anyone as heavy as me!!! My surgery date is on the 13th two days and I’m overly nervous, I think it’s more of me dealing with sleep apnea and my weight.. can all you guys pray for me please thanks for all in advance !!!!!

My starting weight was 225 pounds. I'm 5'1". I lost 7 pounds on the pre-op diet and weighed in at 218 on the day of my surgery.

Good luck to you. I will send prayers per your request.

Hi Monica, good luck and I will definitely keep you in my prayers. I wouldn’t worry about the sleep apnea as long as your doc is aware so they can monitor your condition and make sure you have what’s needed after surgery.

Im 5’6 and started at 255

Hi Monica,

My high weight was 334 lbs. The day of surgery I weighed 312. I'm 5'7".

Now I weigh 190 lbs.

I also have sleep apnea and I use a CPAP machine nightly.

Try not to worry, you should do fine. Prayers for you.
