Now my weight is 311. Before surgery I lost 27 pounds on my own. I have
no real problems with anything. hope this helps, e-mail me if you would
like too.

I had my surgery on 11/29/01, started at 364 and am now down to just under
200. I just had a double hernia repair, tt, belt lipectomy, breast lift
and implants 2 weeks ago. The surgery removed 18 lbs. of skin, however,
I'm sure he added a few lbs. in implants as well. I'm not sure what my
current weight is, I imagine it is somewhere under 200. My ultimate goal
is to get to 160, which will include whatever else is taken off in my arms
and thighs.
I did get off track a few months ago, actually about 8 months ago and
gained about 10 lbs. I have gone back to the basics and am on doing the
Atkins to take off my last 20-30 lbs. If you care to chat or have any
questions, please feel free to email me!

Hi! I started at 360 and am 5'7 1/2". I am 11 months out and have
lost 175, down to 185. My surgeon's goal for me was 232, so I have far
surpassed that. My goal for myself was 190-200, but now I think I would
like to try for 170. I am already in size 12's, down from 30/32's, and all
of this before plastic surgery. I need major removal from arms, butt,
tummy, thighs and need implants/lift. I think I could easily be in an 8/10
with an abdominoplasty, but the plastic surgeon I have picked will not do
surgery until 2 yrs post op b/c she wants my weight to be stable before
surgery so I don't have a further issue with loose skin. I'd love to chat
if you would like!
