New here! Any low BMIers?
sherri3388 replied to Teachamy's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
The day of my surgery I went in with a BMI of 30.9, a little lower than it had been in the previous weeks. I'm looking forward to being "normal" weight after about 20 years. I'm on my way. -

Newbie Introduction Planning VSG in MX
sherri3388 replied to HopefulintheNW's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I am planning to give a true detailed count of absolutely everything about this trip as I am in Tijuana now and being sleeved by dr Ortiz today. As I was researching I found it to be most helpful by reading others. Dr Ortiz was the only one I felt comfortable with at the end of the day. Keeping my fingers crossed that I was right. So far, so good. I'm in the lobby of the Marriott waiting for the driver to take me there. -

sherri3388 replied to Teachamy's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
No. Monday. I'm really nervous about it tonight. And I think I'm crazy for doing it at the low BMI but I'm so sick of getting heavier every year. My family is obese and It is not healthy for me to yoyo diet the way I do. -

pre-op diet from OCC
sherri3388 replied to MrsPiggleWiggle's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I don't have a pre op diet, I am just to be the same weight as when I spoke to them 176#. But...I gained some in the meantime so I started a diet today of one protein drink, no junk food and healthy eating, lots of protein and salad. Hopefully I can lose about 7 lbs. -
