Sleeved 1/28. Down 17# since surgery, 28# since January 1.

I am starting at BMI of 36. I am scheduled for surgery next week. I haven't told many people because I get the " you aren't fat enough for surgery". So I am not telling many more people. They don't know my struggles, about the $5000 a year cost in medications that are for weight related issues. I am so happy to find other low BMIers on here and see similar problems! I can't wait to post before and after pictures!

Jan 28th for me!

Hi Curt, I am also in Southern Oregon, just starting the journey with Southern oregon Bariatrics. I am meeting with dr street this week, hoping to be posting my before and after success story soon!

Hi. I am also new here. BMI of 35, in the process to hopefully get a sleeve.my insurance doesn't cover my surgery, so far they are covering my pre-op stuff. I went to my first support group and felt uncomfortable since most of the people were over 300 to start. Any idea how people on the low end of BMI do with total weight loss?

I am a 12 hour nurse in the ER, hopefully doing surgery in January. I am concerned about the long hours, the lifting, and not getting enough water in. How soon before I can go back to work?
