kimdlawson06 141 Posted January 9, 2016 No regrets for me. My largest size was 16 in pants but that's the heaviest I'd ever been without being pregnant. 12 months out and I'm down to a size 8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs_O 118 Posted January 10, 2016 also interested in this. i am 33 BMI and getting sleeved on the 27th. would be nice to have any additional info on low bmi folks! my biggest question for you low BMIers is did you lose shoe sizes? my feet are surprisingly thinner that most of my body but i do wear a 10-10.5 and just curious if my feet will shrink. no way to know but wait and see i suppose!

slsgeek 10 Posted January 10, 2016 I was a 33 BMI (I am now a 26 and just barely in the overweight category). I have lost 54lbs in 5.5 months. No regrets at all except I wish this was available 20 years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mmwishart 41 Posted January 12, 2016 I was a 35 BMI. I have lost almost 60 lbs, and I couldn't be happier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbmichals 12 Posted January 14, 2016 I was 206lbs the day of surgery and am now 169 at 8 weeks. I of course don't lose as fast as some, but no I don't regret it. I didn't take any before pics. I meant to but just never did. I still don't take pics of myself. Maybe when I reach my goal weight I will feel differently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cape Crooner 589 Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) I was around 275 (BMI 38) when I decided to get a VSG last July. I had my surgery on 10/6/15 and just weighed in at 199. The nice thing about having a lower BMI is that you can get it all over and done with pretty quickly. I'm 15 weeks post surgery and 9 lbs from my goal. That said, I was very fortunate in that I had no complications, no dumping, vomiting or pain. Since week 9, I've been able to eat anything, just no more than 5-6 ounces at one time. I do still track all my food and exercise. From a diet point of view, I have become the person I always envied! Now, my next issue will be maintenance. I'm not really sure what to do differently without sabotaging what I've changed in my lifestyle. Stay tuned...

Joannaharris77 9 Posted January 16, 2016 I had my surgery on 9/8/15.....weighing 197, I'm now 147...greatest thing ever. I have more energy. I'm off all my blood pressure pills. I really feel great. I was in size 16 pants, I bought a pair 9. The pants fit when I left the store but 2 weeks later, the pants were too big... I'm not buying anymore until I reach goal.
