Remix 153 Posted November 4, 2015 My BMI was 30 when I had surgery 3.5 months ago. I've lost 42 lbs since then and my BMI is 22.6. My doctor told me that with my low BMI, I should focus more on inches lost rather than the numbers on the scale. He was right. I've noticed a lot more improvement in how my clothes fit and how quickly I move through pant sizes (I started at size 16 and now I need to go shopping again cuz my size 10s are too big). This surgery has changed my life. I was miserable, had no self esteem and my thoughts revolved around my weight issues before surgery. Now I feel free!! I love myself and my life!! I enjoy exercise because I'm in awe of what my body can do now. I paid out of pocket ($5000 in Mexico) but it was worth every penny! I have my life back. Freedom!!

all4him 25 Posted November 11, 2015 It's been a rough couple of days. The pain was actually worse yesterday than surgery day on Monday. I have a high pain tolerance (one at least I thought I did). I just kept hitting the pain pump and slept as much as I could. Today is much better. I can sip without pain. Thanks for asking! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
