My six month bandiversary is Monday, March 7th and I am 1lb away from a total of 50lbs since my highest weight in April of '09. So that got me to thinking, measuring pounds is good, but what about that BMI the docs are always harping on. So I find this link:

http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bminojs.htm

and I checked my Highest BMI, Current BMI, and Goal BMI. Here are my results:

Highest: 272lbs 48.2 BMI

Current: 223lbs 39.5 BMI

Goal: 165lbs 29.2 BMI

I am pretty pleased with myself and thought I would share. Anyone else?

Good luck everyone!

You should be pleased with yourself...you are doing great!

We dropped almost the exact same amount of BMI points in the first six months so your progress seems to be close to what mine was. I thought I would post mine to give you an idea of a possible timeline:

40.2 start31.8 in (6 mos)

24.9-Normal (8 mos)

23.5-Initial goal (almost 1 yr.)

21.6- Current (almost 3 yrs.)

That's great! I am very happy to be out of the 60's with my BMI! I have dropped over 10 points! Yippie! Still morbidly obese but better than before!

I went from a starting BMI of 41.3 to current BMI of 24 Whoo Hoo!

One thing to keep in mind is that when you reach a BMI of 25 (normal weight) you have then lost 100% of your excess weight. If you drop lower than 25 you go over 100% of the excess!

My one year bandiversary is in 10 days. I went from a bmi of 47.1 (morbidly obese) to 29.8, which means I'm just overweight. I can;t even remember the last time I was "just overweight".

My six month band anniversary is on the 24th of this month.

I started this journey with a BMI of 34.7 and today my BMI is 26, still overweight, but getting closer to being a new healthy me.

I love my band!

41.2 to 35.4 in 3 months!

I track BMI and lbs. lost on my ticker. As a goal, I picked the nearest 5-lbs. within the "normal" BMI range. Getting there! Banane23.gif

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
