I am 27 yrs old i have been overweight for 13yrs. I was raised on poor eating habits soda, fried food and fast food. I started to get teased in school because of my weight. But when you come from an overweight family you feel normal at least thats what they tell you. I would take all kinds of diets pills and weightloss programs. I knew those like the back of my hand. I tried weight watchers and that took off 50lbs, i went from a size 16 to a tight 7/8. But i gained it all back plus more cause it got expensive. When i was 19 i got pregnant with my first child a girl. I weighed 183 after she was born and had high blood pressure. I went back on weight watchers joined a gym and took up a cycling class 3. times a wk. Which was good for awhile but the weight was harder to loose. I started taking phentermine and i took that so long it stopped working. I was so frustrated. I had a few family memebers and my sister who had weightloss surgery. I always thought i was not overweight enough for that and was scared. Then at my highest weight of 212 and height 5 ft, my body had enough. So i talked to my family doctor and he said it would be a good idea to see dr.patel for a consult. I must admit i was thinking they will never approve me, but they did. I was shocked, but also depressed cause i am like wow i am severly obese with a bmi of 43. I had alot of support as i went through my pre op appointments for 6months. My doctors team was great. I am happy i did it now i can be active with my daughter since 6 yr old are very active. I am now 6months out and down a total of 45lbs . I hope this helps someone on their journey

Yes i have before years ago on weight watchers. i just havs never been able to keep it off and stay at goal without starving myself. My doctors and his team say i am doing good. I am just afraid it will slow down and i will have done all this for nothing. I am now loosing like 4lbs a month.

I am 24 wks out and i try to go to the gym 4 days a wk. i do the treadmill or elliptical for at least 45 min. i also do the bike sometimes 30 min

I was sleeved febuary 26 and have lost 40lbs so far. I am just wondering if there are any others out there who has any advice for us shorter people with lower bmi
