Obese After Sleeve?

[mylifeinpink 349]

Anyone?

Surgeon says I will loose 80-120lbs and I have age on my side so closer to 120 This will put me at 180 lbs which is still obese according to those crazy charts!! I am 5'5"

Has your experience been similar?

Did your surgeon give you a realistic measurement?

Have you lost more/less?

While the scale is a good tool for motivation. I am starting to think that fat and muscle mass ratio is a stronger indicator of health and progress. Rather than bmi' date=' which does not account for the differential of weight of fat and muscle. Thoughts?

I've read so many times that the sleeve is used in a two part surgery. Could that be the solution to losing the remaining?

It was originally used as part 1 of a 2 part surgery, but they saw so much success with the sleeve on its own, they started using it as a stand alone procedure.

that is a chart of real people at various height & weights.

seemed kinda like it'd be cool to post, so people can see what they would potentially look like at a certain weight.. not all of 'em are filled in, but hey, maybe you could fill one in yourself & help it get completed!
