Self pay sleevers: BMI of 30 or close

[chickadee73 57]

I hit "normal“ weight about a month ago and I did a little scale dance lol! Then I worried "o no will I go back up" I always think "is this for real" so silly I know but my mind hasnt caught up with my skinny body yet

I can so relate to this from my ups and downs. I am sure I'll feel this way when I lose weight.

Hey all! I had my sleeve done in Dallas about 3 weeks ago. I had a complication. The surgeon damaged part my spleen and I was in the hospital for 5 days. I'm 100% better now. Surgery was totally worth it, even with the complication.

Just weighed today and I am 159. Goal #1 is 140 Goal #2 130 ultimate goal weight # 120.

Congrats tripletmom! I was also 30 BMI ... 3+ months out I'm so happy I've had it done, I have only lost 30lbs but I'm eating much healthier. Good luck on your journey x

I think us who were heavier may feel that surgery is the last resort and we don't wish it on anyone unless t is needed. That being said it is a tool and if you have tried everything else then more power to you. I hope you lose all the weight you need to and keep it off. I was larger but had some small Heath problems that would have become much larger if I didn't get the weight off. It's the I have to lose weight vs I have to lose a lot of weight syndrome. More power to us all!
