Haven’t been on here lately. I was banded in 09. Revised to sleeve in May. I have bee heavy all my life. High was 330. Low with band 230. Sleeved at 250. My goal was 225. Now at 210. My nutritionist, dr and trainer All told me to no longer try to loose weight. Just eat well, continue to exercise, tone and build more muscle and see where my weight settles out. They even said they would work with me if I loose too much. This is so very foreign for me. I’m 6 ft tall and now ware 34-36?slim fit pants. Large or xl(slim) shirts. I still think I’m heavy. Trying to get a handle on this. Know it’s a good problem to have. How did you handle it

Well I plugged your wt into a bmi calculator and it said you should be lower than 210. It said try for 198.

But honestly I don't know - you need to feel good about your own goals. The calculator does not take frame size into account or any other variables.

Are you near a university? Many of them have a dexa scan and can calculate your lean to fat body ratio and your frame. It is usually priced fair for the test. That way you will have more information about yourself.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
