I know everyone is different, but I'd love to know how someone with similar stats has progressed. I have three family members who've had the surgery, but they started out either much heavier, or they are considerably shorter than I am.
Anyone close to this before surgery?
HT: 5'8"
Weight:280
Pants size:22
Short size 2X

    I had RNY 4/1/15. I have lost 48 lbs. I had some complications with ulcer and stricture, but this is a dramatic change for the better and my problems seem to be behind me. I will be healthier again. This is not an easy or quick fix, but I am so glad that I have chosen this new life.

    HT 5'5"
    Heaviest wt 264
    Preop wt 254
    Current wt 216
    PANTS SIZE 24 These are baggy now!
    SHORTS SIZE 2X I will be hitting Goodwill soon!

    Feel free to friend me if you'd like.

    My surgery is going to be mid to late September. Everyone keeps asking if I'm nervous at all, and I'm not yet. The wait(or weight) is killing me. I have lost close to 20 pounds since I began my supervised weight loss visits. I can't wait to get rid of the rest!
