How much weight have you LOST WITH DS...Newbie Here...
I'm here waiting for my revision from a lap band to DS. There are quite a few lap band revisions here. PLEASE think very carefully if you are considering a band. I did not lose weight (well 10 pounds in two years) and throw up at least once a day. Pretty much by bite number four of my food, so its not the amount I'm eating. I've since heard from many people (doctors included) that the band is unsuccessful for many people and there is a very high risk of complications. I truly wish I had informed myself of the DS surgery and equally importantly of the negative information about the band before I had my first surgery. I wish you the very best of luck in your research.
I've lost 110 lbs, from an all time high of 274 lbs. I'm happy as a clam. Love this surgery, it is a total life changer for me.
Don't get too hung up on numbers. I thought perhaps I'd lose more, but I am thrilled to be where I am. I'm not too thin, I'm NORMAL which is awesome. I wear a size 12 pants. Happy happy happy!!!!
Good luck to you!

Your goal sounds do-able for sure.
I set my goal at 150, and didn't really think I'd get there. I set my next goal at 135 and didn't think I'd ever dream of being there. I am currently bobbling between 123-126.
I've lost 175 pounds.
