    I'll be 28 in June so I'll just go with that (even though 27 sounds a little better) I'm 5'4" 270 lbs. and my only comorbidity is high blood pressure. I've struggled with weight my entire life, however over the last 6-7 years I've really packed on the pounds. When I was 21 I was between 180-190 lbs. and I thought I was the fatest person in the world! I'd give anything to get back there, but really hope and pray I get below it.

    I get sleeved on May 2nd so I look forward to the journey ahead and will keep you all posted on my progress!

    Good Luck to Everyone!
    You will get there and beyond! You won't even believe how wonderful this tool is until you use it for your own good. I wish you good luck!

    35 years old, 5'4" tall and was 217 at my highest weight. Type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol were my co-morbidities

    Starting BMI 2/3/2012 - 38
    Goal BMI-24! REACHED and BELOW!! 10/2012 Current BMI 21.0!
    The best goals reached are the ones hardest earned.

    I'm 5'4". My beginning pre op weight was 324, BMI of 55.6. Comorbidities included sleep apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and borderline diabetic. My weight on the day of surgery was 291, BMI of 49.9. I'm 4 1/2 months post op, and I'm now 243 (I'm a slow looser compared to others, but ok with that), current BMI of 41.7. So close to being under 40....

    I no longer have high blood pressure. I have not yet had my cholesterol or my A1C retested but hoping to soon. I'm guessing both are back in normal range. I also need to get a repeat sleep study. I have been sleeping without my CPAP off and on and thinking I probably no longer need it. I still want to lose another 80 lbs. Not sure if I'll make it that far, but that's my goal. Going to be joining a new gym soon and hoping that helps up the weight loss.


    "The soul would have no rainbow if the eyes had no tears."

    Beginning weight: 324; Pre-op loss: 33 lbs; Weight on day of surgery: 291

    I was 34 years at surgery date, 223 lbs. I'm 5'5". BMI was 38 I think?
    Comorbitities : Lower back pain, knee pain/clicking, asthma, PTSD, severe depression and generalized anxiety disorder. Pre pre-diabetic.

    Today: 132 lbs. 22BMI. Back and knee pain MUCH better. Asthma IMMENSELY better. No issues with blood sugars now. Depression/anxiety are a work in progress but I am off my meds for nearly a year now.
    Straight forward. Straight facts. Whether you like the truth or not... I'm not made of sugar coating
