I find it less helpful to hear about the journey of somebody who's under 250 and having the surgery. I've seen so many people just under 200 pounds having the surgery and I am horrified. I guess everybody's journey and reasonings are different. It just seems like such a drastic surgery and if I were 200 pounds I would be thankful… At least this point my life. But just to lose 50 pounds, I have a hard time wrapping my head around it.

Here's my reality: I have just about every co-morbidity on the list. Every one. I was 210 pounds and being eaten alive by my autoimmune diseases. This surgery has saved me--the gut hormones caused a lot of my health issues. So I get what you're saying, and I tend to be a very judgmental person, but I've come to understand that we all got here for one (or several) very personal reasons. Hope this helps!

Kata13, there is a group that's designated for different weight groups. And, I do visit those. While you get discouraged by those heavier than you losing weight quicker, I get discouraged when I see posts about people losing very slowly. And, then I remember to go to the side and see if I can tell what their starting weight was...and pray the reason is just because they started at a lower weight than someone like me, and that it's not something worse like the sleeve just not working...
