Ideal weight?????



Recommended Posts

<p>So fellow bandsters!!! I was banded May 22nd and I am doing great.....26 pounds down! I love my band. My friends and family are all asking me how much I want to loose. Well my first response was I want to weigh anything under 200 pounds, but I gotta have a goal right???? I didnt want to use those stupid charts that go by weight and height because those are always crazy.....and put me as being almost a skeleton! So with the help of a fellow May banster I was given this website. I really feel that the weight they have given me is perfect. Now I have a goal weight to get to. Please visit the website and post your ideal weight, and if you think it is realistic for YOU!</p> <p> </p> <p>Sandra</p> <p> </p> <p>Highest weight 255</p> <p>surgery weight 242</p> <p>current weight 216</p> <p>goal weight 163!!!!!!</p>

Hmmm...interesting. The site says that most people think they're ideal body weight at 6' 0" is 230 for men at 49 years old. I really think that is a bit on the heavy side.

BMI says 140 - 184, and I am shooting for a control range of 190 - 210.

To me, seems like its best to set a range rather than a specific weight as your goal.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
