Ms. Babyboo 25 Posted May 21, 2015 The name of the face book group is Low BMI Friends. Figured that was pretty vague. Lol! I have it where any one can find the group but members can only read the messages. If you are interested in joining it then ask to join and I will approve. After everyone has joined I will make it secret where no one can even find the group unless they are invited. fab name is Badia Muminah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WaydownsouthInc 1 Posted May 21, 2015 You sound like my twin also 5'3 And 200 pounds. got down to 186. Pre op. I am in the hospital now and everything went great. Dr Kolasch is my doctor and he is in the Matthews office of SE Bariatrics. The drop down menu on this site took me back up so many times I coulD Not put his name on he is great and at one time was serving our country as a trauma surgeon in Afghanistan. I will keep you posted as to my weight loss and journey, but I am hopeful. I even geT off 2 of the 3 blood pressure medicines today and the third within a month. Yeah, because they were starting to hurt my kidney function Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skinnyrita 188 Posted May 23, 2015 I also had a very low BMI but surgery was recommended by my cardiologist who encouraged me to have it in order to reduce the uncontrolled hypertension, which I have struggled with for over a year. Just got sleeved and I'm 9 days post op. I could have never achieved the 16 lb weight loss without this surgery. I have actually felt myself being happy, knowing I am not resigned to a life of restrictions because of health/weight! My knees have stopped hurting already and today I will be going through some clothes to find a few pieces to get me through the next low size, which I already anticipate needing very soon. The comments and opinions of others only show the total lack of awareness in our culture about obesity-related illness. But I know in my heart I've just given myself a clean slate to renew my health. I would love to be buddies and join in supporting you through making the next year the best year of our lives! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
