My pre-surgery weight was 369 at 5'7". I was 350+lbs for approximately 6 years. I maintained a weight between 200-240lbs for two years prior to that. Overall I gained weight to go from 150lbs in Oct 1998 to 369lbs in June 2007. The reason for my weight gain was medication related AT FIRST. I gained 120lbs due to a side effect of meds, and then I snowballed from there due to my own accord.
UPDATE 5/1/11 - Life is WONDERFUL. SIMPLY WONDERFUL!!
My Surgeon was Dr. James Maher, practicing at MCV/VCU Hospital in Richmond VA. http://www.vcu.edu/lesspainsurgery/obesity/ I am FOREVER indebted to this WONDERFUL man and his skilled surgical team members. They hold a very, very dear place in my heart. :)
