I know there are some 400+ folks there that have had success. Pammi Ok,1 more time.. Hey all, I know I can be a bit boring and all, but I ask again: has anyon gone from 400 to 150 that anyone knows of? Just the though that 200+ llbs could potentially be lost would give me some hope that DS is the way to go!! =============================== Hawkins netmaker2@... =============================== " Those who can't laugh at themselves leave others to do the job!

Just the though that 200+ llbs could > potentially be lost would give me some hope that DS is the way to go!! > I didn't answer before because I'm not the one this happened to but the first person I met in the Dr. maguire support group was a man that started out at 500 lbs. and ended up around 180. He's 5 years out and quite an inspiration. I also have a friend who started at 443 lbs. and is currently in the 200+ range and still losing. It's definitely possible. In fact, if you are that weight I think the DS is your best hope. Jackie Ward jward533@... Dr. Maguire BPD Surgery 3/19 5 months and down 85 lbs.
