Question:
I'm 5'11 and appx 380

I'll be having surgery on May 19th. My goal is to get down to about 180. I was hoping there may be someone out there that started about the same as myself, and has made goal. I'd love it if any of you would be willing to share your "after" pictures with me, so I can get an idea of what to expect. It's sometimes difficult to get an image when youre as tall as I am. Thanks for any help.    — Goodgirl (posted on April 7, 2003)

Well, I can't say that I EXACTLY fit your stipulations, but I come pretty close. I had surgery on August 26th last year. I am 5'9" and started at 367. I am now a little over 7 months and I have lost 129 pounds. They say my "goal" is 170, but I think I will be really skinny because I am very large framed. I will be happy if I get to 200. I currently weigh 238. I will probably have to have a tummy tuck after I have all my children and I would like ot have my arms done. I have a very recent picture on my OBhelp website. just click on my name and you can see it. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any more quesitons or comments. Take care and good luck on your journey!

hi there :) im 5 ft 9 and started at 370. i had open rny on feb 8 02 and now weigh 165. i am still losing but at a much slowwer pace now which is completely normal. i would love to get to 145 150. i can do it! :) my profile has one pic of me on newyears eve when i got down to 197 but the caption under the photo is wrong and says 295. the full lengh of me is when i got down to 185. i recently had a small hernia repair along with excess abdominal skin removal which took 12lbs off bringing me to what i now weigh. email me so i have your address and ill email you my before photo so you have an idea of how much this really works :) best of luck to you! :) my address is [email protected]

I'm 5"10 and started at 440. I've lost 150 in the last 8 months, still have 100 to go. But I believe that I'm going to get there!
