Looking for others who had the surgery with BMI less than 35

[e in ny 0]

I am scheduled to have my surgery on May 9th, my BMI is 32, but I have 2 comorbidities. Anyone have this surgery with the same thing ?? I am wondering how the weight loss went..how much did you lose ?? How quickly/slowly ?? what was the total weight loss ?? What was your experience like ? I am scared, and looking for support and answers. TIA !!

hey! i was 33 bmi with comorbidities. I weighed 216 and had my surgery on 10/25/10. Lost most of it before Christmas and now I weigh 186. Just got another fill today. I haven't been watching what I eat or anything and it's all my fault, but I have gained 5 lbs in the past month. Dedicate yourself when you start and never cheat. A little cheat leads to BIG cheats.

I started wit a BMI of 32. My surgery date was 8/16/10. I was 175 lbs and am now hovering between 140-144. It has been a slow process for me and my Dr is fine with my progress. He tells me it will be much slower than the normal 2lb a week weight loss. I 100% agree with Kim about cheating!! DO NOT START! Once you realize that you can eat junk just fine, all the old bad habits come back. I havent lost much lately and its all my fault. I need to get off the junk and back on the exercise.

I just got another fill 2 days ago and I'm hoping I will reach my sweet spot soon!

I will tell you that I do not regret it in the least! It was painful at first and my port is very noticible but I would do it again in a heartbeat! I have gone from a sz 14 or 16 to a sz 6 or 8 and I feel great!!!!! It was definitely worth every penny.

GOOD LUCK!

I was banded with a bmi of 33 and have PCOS

I went into surgery (october 2009) at 210lbs ( not my highest) i believe ( 95kg) and by February 2010 I was 170 lbs. Sadly I had band erosion blah blah blah anyways basically went 5 months without the band got a new band July 2010 and by Nov 2010 I was 150 lbs. I have basically stayed there since and am hoping to lose my last 10 lbs to get to my goal of 140 lbs.

Basically if I ate right and worked out then I lost weight, if I slacked then so did my weight loss. You can do this just don't get discouraged if you dont lose a lot fast as you dont have a lot to lose to begin with.
