I had my pre-op class today and it definitely made me feel a little out of place. My BMI is 37' date=' so I am overweight, but the other people in the class were REALLY overweight. I know I am making the right decision for myself but definitely had my first set of "am I really doing the right thing?" feelings. Anyone else have the same experience? I almost feel kind of silly for having the surgery.[/quote']

I felt that way as well even had some people telling me that I didn't need to lose weight it bothered me at first but ultimately it was me that I had to worry about, I had underlined health issue that noone knew about and at the end of the day it was ME that mattered SO I did what I had to do to be a healthier me!!!

They were right, you are too small. Best to wait until you pack on another 75 pounds and have more co-morbidities. That'll show them!

Seriously though, you know yourself and your weight battle better than anyone sitting in that meeting. If its right for you, do it. Best of luck!
