My First Real Victory In 2 Months!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved almost 2 months ago (2/6/12) and I just realized today that I hit a huge milestone!!

I plugged my height/weight info into a BMI calculator and my BMI is now 38.8. When I got my surgery my BMI was 43.8! I am no longer in "Very Severely Obese" and am now just "Severely Obese". I no longer qualify for surgery with my insurance company!!!! Thank goodness I already got it :D

In just 24 more pounds I will be under a BMI of 35 and be classed as "Moderately Obese"

HORRAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hooray! Good for you! You inspired me to check my BMI (which I haven't done since surgery 8 months ago!) - And I went from class 3 (morbidly obese) to class 1 (regular obese)! Thanks for sharing your victory!

I may not be seeing much in the way of scale movement but that was SERIOUSLY awesome to see! It definitely kicked me to want to work harder.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
