I’m 4”11 I was banned in 2009 at 190 pounds. I think I was 180 when I was approved for the surgery. I lost about 64 pounds. I say “about” because I fluctuate a little bit like most people. So I guess you def can say I was successful as someone who was banned with a lower BMI. I try not to let my weight go above 127. 123 I guess is the most ideal weight for me. When I was 121 I looked too skinny on some parts of my body since it is hard to control where I lose and gain the fat from. My body is an apple shape. When banded they said, I had what is called “male-like obesity”. It funny I never even looked that up. I’m so curious now if that is even really a thing lol.
