Lower-end BMI Sleeve Surgery. Any others?

[DinaNJ 92]

My BMI was at almost 34 the day of surgery, 35 prior but got approved due to medical reasons... I am 9 months post-op and the weight is coming off very slowly if at all now.. I am 50 lbs down and feel great! I only want to loose 5 more lbs before my 1 year is uo in 3 months. I have noticed that even if you get off track, lowering your carb or calorie intake makes the weight come off easily.

My BMI was 31 on the day of surgery. It's now 26.8. Can't wait until I'm normal BMI!

So was everyone self pay? If not what were your qualifying comorbidities?

Self pay

34.5 Bmi. Self pay. But I have an exclusion to any Bariatrics or weightloss procedures/appointments/medications anyways. So co-morbiditues didn't matter. But I do (had) have a couple of them.

I was covered by insurance, comorbidity was pcos symptoms.

Surgery weight was 193 and 5 days post op I am 195!! Ugh! I am sure it is Water weight but I was really hoping for a loss when I got home! ???? anyone else gain weight after surgery???

They pump you full of iv fluids in the hospital. It would probably be stranger if you didn't gain a few pounds while there.

Don't worry, give it a few days it will come down, no problem.

I didn't even have the energy to step on a scale when I got home lol. Good on ya! But, yes the iv Fluid can make you weigh more, plus the inflammation. You will likely see a big change after the first week.
