Stay focused and read the forum everyday - if you can. This forum is a great resource and tool to help you be sucessful!

    Sooo I just happen to be reading P&I for like the millionth time ;p

    And I came across this:

    When a patient has more than 15 pounds to lose the treatment takes longer but the
    maximum we give in a single course is 40 injections, nor do we as a rule allow patients to lose
    more than 34 lbs. (15 Kg.) at a time. The treatment is stopped when either 34 lbs. have been
    lost or 40 injections have been given.

    The only exception we make is in the case of grotesquely obese patients who may be allowed to
    lose an additional 5-6 lbs. if this occurs before the 40 injections are up.


    So i guess you would be good to go. I lost 37.2 pounds my first round and at 5'3 and 235.2 (my starting weight) I'm pretty sure I was considered in his words "grotesquely obese".

    Your Dr told you that you were grotesquely obese? My Dr. said the same thing but I started at 341...I don't think you qualify for 'grotesque'.

    I hope I don't gain back weight once I start maintenance because I lost an extra 8ish lbs over the 34. I read something in the manuscript about gaining if you have lost too far over the 34...eek!

    tonione03,

    I am 5'5" and started at 243
    240 is the bottom number for my height
    for "Morbid" obesity
    Between normal & morbid
    is grade 1
    and grade 2
    obesity.

    I would think your starting weight qualifies for grotesque.
    If not, IMHO (& only IMHO), it's close enough.

    Good luck.
