JenC 90 Posted September 2, 2012 I had the surgery at a BMI of 35 with no co-morbities. I expect to lose 100% of the weight to take me to a normal BMI and my surgeon agrees this is a realistic goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

O.T.R. sleever 3,386 Posted September 2, 2012 There are plenty of lower BMI sleevers out there. Just do your homework so you know what to expect. Also realize that you won't see the rapid weightloss that a high BMI sleever will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted September 2, 2012 My BMI was a 36 when I got sleeved and they weren't going to do the surgery until they checked my medical records and found that I had diabetes. I had to be persistent and even changed my height from 5'7" to 5'6". But I've lost 77 lbs so far and am looking pretty darn skinny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxbins 625 Posted September 2, 2012 My BMI was 35 and I was self-pay in Mexico 20 months ago. Reached goal in 10 months but I wanted to lose 82 lbs initially, but kept going until my weight stabilized at 137 or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
