Lightweights in the house! Any more people with less to lose/less BMI's?

Hey just ran into this thread. Congrats on your surgery. I sure hope your issues are settling out and your progress is positive.

I would fall into the lower bmi category I am 5.5 1/2 and my top weight (day of surgery) was 215. I was having bouts with high blood pressure and irregular heart rate. I am 7 weeks out today and have lost 29lbs. I am very happy with how everything has gone and am so grateful to have had the surgery. I can eat just about anything, sugar gets to me most (yay!).

For me this was not to get model skinny, but rather to tip my hand in the battle against my weight and to aid in healthfulness and longevity. It's a marathon not a race and I plan on going for a long long time.

I am hoping to shed 75 pounds, although those pesky weight charts say I should lose 87 pounds.

I have about 100 lbs to lose. I started at 232, i am215 now. Being sleeved 10/22. I am 5 ' 1 1/2" tall so I am pretty round....cant wait to feel and look ...well not like a Weeble ( kids toy)

Good luck Marcy! October is when Im hoping to have mine. still gotta wait for insurance though..ugh

. Sometimes the chart isn't the important number it'S the getting healthy part that is most important so hang in there and you'll know when your number is good

I have signed up June 27. BMi about 35. Ready to get it done. Tired of this is understatement. It is an affliction. Going with Alvarez in Mexico. Can't believe I'm doing this. I am medical professional and my insurance does cover. But not any of the pre or post op stuff which comes to about 3 or 4k so they're going to try to get it from you anyway. That is prob about their cost. forget it I'm not going thru 6 months of appointments and psychoanalysis ' date=' trying work raise kids just to have part of it covered and wonder if I'll be approved. So that's where I am ![/quote']

These are the same reasons I chose Mexico. "Ain't nobody got time for all that." Lol! I will follow the plan after surgery and exercise.

I'm 5" @ 220...bmi too much teehee my goal is to weigh less than my husband does @160!

Im 5 feet 1 in. And 215-220...depends on the day. I hate when ppl say I carry my weight well bc I have a smaller waist and butt. Im still OBESE!!!! I am pushing for 130-140 bc of my thick frame.

Butterflies in my tummy this morning! 4 days until surgery! Start a three day clear liquid diet tomorrow! This mornings weight is 154lbs! At 5ft that's a chunky squatty body! Very top heavy so out of proportion. Typical chart says ideal weight is 101-107. That's too small. I'm a petite/small frame. Would be happy at 110-119. Any sleeves with 30BMI that has a success story? Thanks
