Im 70 lbs overweight..and i started suffering from high blood pressure..my doc said i would have to lose at least 60..so that my highblood pressure can go away

It is NOONE's place to question the "why" or "need" for anyone to do a revision.

It is up to the history of the patient, family history AND the doctor. It comes across as bullying, the tone of the comment sucks, it is unkind and is flat out being a busybody.

Good luck to you. I am also low BMI with health issues and will post my before photos after I take them next week

Taken march 4th, two days after surgery. This angle and the wide angle lens make me look smaller than I was. I remember the feeling I had that day when I took that photo. I hated myself. I still holding onto lots of the fluids, but it didn't matter. I was SO glad it was done!!!

Before & current. And anyone that thinks you don't need the surgery, ignore! If I could have gotten it when I was 70 pounds overweight, I would have (my insurance wouldn't cover it!) and then I would never have gained, lost, gained, lost until I got to 358 pounds (at 5'7!).

You are going to look fab, be healthier & probably not need skin removal like those of us with higher bmi's!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
