I was motivated to have the gastric sleeve done because I was twice the size I was in Highschool , on 4 blood pressure pills and 2 cholesterol pills. My liquid diet start date weight was 425 and my surgery day weight was 400. I am 3 months out from surgery and have lost 126 pounds!! I've gone down 12 inches in my pant waist and from a 5X shirt to a 3X shirt. I'm very happy with the results and hope to lose another 75 pounds over the next year. Updated on 21 Jun 2015: I am 4 months out from surgery and I am down 132 pounds today from 424 pounds!!! I don't do anything special, I eat like the doctor recommended, lean grilled meats and a dry vegetable and the pounds just fall off. I'm down from a 5x shirt to a 2x And from a 56" waist pants to a 44" waist I just bought today, I could've went 42" but didn't Updated on 6 Oct 2015: I started at 424 lost 189 pounds in 7 months and now I'm at 238 pounds and still losing.
