Lower BMI?

[ren0318 81]

My BMI is right at 35 (I have diabetes among other things), anyone with a lower BMI wanna share your experience? I'm wondering with a lower BMI were you worried about losing to much weight? Or were there any other complications due to the BMI?

Thanks Ren

I had a BMI day of surg of 37. Smaller than alot here(sounds funny to call myself small) I'm down to 30bmi. I have done well I suppose. I think the lower the bmi u start with the slower it is to see a huge weight loss. I am nearly 3months and I am down 40lbs right now. I am happy. My sleep apnea was severe,PCOS, insulin resistant, high BP, high cholesterol, joint pain and on I can go. I honesty haven't been worried about losing too much weight cause I just can't imagine that seeing where I am now. If I hadn't lost slow like I have then maybe but I honestly still can't see myself that small.

My BMI was 35 right on the button at the first meeting with my surgeon. I decided quite some time before my surgery that I was not going to set a weight goal. Instead, I went into the experience believing that as long as I followed the protocol as closely to the letter as I possibly could, my body would tell me when it was at the weight it needed to be at. And that's exactly what happened. When my weight stabilized, that was the number. Thirteen months post-op and 130 lbs lighter, my weight stabilized at 155 lbs. Today I'm just over 21 months post-op and my weight this morning was 154. I'm loving the new me and you're gonna love the new you!!

]So any 30 BMI's out there ? How did your weight loss progress after sleeve ? Did u lose a lot or a little in the first 6-8 weeks and how much and how often after that?

We have Drs here that state a BMI of 30 is good to do the sleeve ( with previous genuine failed attempts etc) as it prevents the patient getting to the point where they are in a life threatening weight situation and they're healthier on the operating table to do the sleeve - prevents getting unhealthy to get healthy at an earlier and safer intervention point - I'm just saying basics as there would be other factors looked and psyc consult also involved - but makes sense -

Hello! I also had a low bmi of 36 and I was approved and having surgery on the 18th this month. I have acid reflux, an internal hernia of my stomach and horrible depression due to being overweight. I was approved easily. Just stuck to all my appointments and weigh ins and following directions. You'll do just fine
