BMI 31-32

Yes, there is WiFi that is free and faster options that cost money. Everything is cheap. We rented a few movies and they were good about bringing broth, Popsicles and Water.

I went into surgery with a 30 BMI and am 51. I don't think I am going to have saggy skin. Was sleeved 7/5/16 so am only a few weeks out. I weighed 187 on that day and am 179 today. The weight loss is slower than those with a high BMI. Bottom line, I would prefer losing the weight and having extra skin than remaining obese. So far, my skin looks great. My highest weight was 215.

I am 61 with BMI of 35...barely. cw 205 at 5'4". Have prep app scheduled in 1wk. Dr says most likely will be sched for first wk in aug. A little concerned about loose skin on arms and legs and hoping it isn't too bad! Might get myself a Tummy Tuck if needed to take care of that area!

@@dke, your stats are about like mine. I was about 204ish before my preop, and was 199 day of surgery. I weighed myself on Saturday of last week and was 190, four days after surgery. Haven't weighed myself since then but I can tell I'm smaller. I don't think loose skin will be too bad but flabby arms are going to be a struggle!

I'm at the plateau stage so it has been frustrating. I have not weighed myself in a couple days but I can tell I have not lost anything. I lost a lot super quick, like 12lbs in just a few days. I have one more day of full liquids then on to purées so I'm so nervous that I am just done loosing. I know I'm being irrational but I'm freaking out. And I do think I will get loose skin on my arms, tummy and tights. I'm 34 and my BMI was 33, 31 now, but I got the feeling I'm going to have loose skin. My surgery was on the 7th

Triplethreat what surgery did you have? My surgeon thinks I will be happier with RNY.

[triplethreat 257]

I had the sleeve. My surgeon didn't think I needed RNY and felt like I would have fewer longterm issues with the sleeve (nutrient absorption).

I had a decent amount of hair loss in the first 6 months, but it's stopped now, by 9 months and seems to be growing back. it didn't get to a dramatic point, but was noticeable to me and disturbing to my husband to find so much hair in the shower drain! as far as loose skin, i would say my stomach and upper leg skin is not as tight as it might have been when i weighed 135 "originally", but i still feel comfortable in a bathing suit. working out as you lose apparently helps, but who really knows.

Sure:

SW: 185

1 month out: 164

3 months out: 151

6 months out: 141

9 months out: 135

After the initial drop, I've always felt my weight loss was "slow", and maybe it is, but it's always moving in a downward direction, however "slowly", and lord knows its nothing I could ever have accomplished on my own -- I TRIED!

[LowBMISleever 381]

Omg you're making me SO excited!! I'm 48 hours away from being sleeved!!
