Highest weight? or weight at surgery?

Just wondering what everyone's top weight was. And also if teens have a better shot at losing more of their excess weight and having less of a problem with saggy skin. I still have to go see my doc and get approved but I'm currently 259 and 5'4".

My highest was 265 at 5'3" and now I think I'm around 260. I'm just starting the process so who knows when/if I'll get approved...Sigh...I can't get banded otherwise

373 at start of pre op

344 on surgery day

304 as of last week

I put my scale up for a couple weeks because I really want to see the 2's next weigh in.

At one point in life I was 405 got down to 267 and obviously was heading back to 400.

As far as excess skin, without a doubt I will have plenty. I am 5'10 but have bat wings, what I call hot dog buns on my upper legs and an apron!

Oh well, one thing at a time.

Oops I also just realized that I posted in the teens forum.... I'm 36

I'm 5'8 and weight 351.:biggrin: *BoO* i'm lucky that i'm so tall and that my weight is distributed evenly. I appreciate that much xD

I have my first consultation on the 6th of next month...i'm so ready for this! can i have surgery tomorrow...please? lolz.

Highest weight=359

Surgery weight=325

Current weight=246

Height=5'8

With 112.5 lbs down I already see signs of saggy skin and I'm 25 y/o. I also weight train and do alot of cardio. But everyone is different!

Good Luck with everything!

Your right around where i am. I am 256lbs at 5'3". I am going through the process now. I just told my parents and They are cool with it. total opposite of what I thought they would be. By the way I am 19 turning 20 in August. I was wondering the same thing because I already have semi sagging going on.
