[Jengo825 37]

I had a Lap done in 2011, 5’3, 292 lbs and a 34 BMI. The LB cause a LOT of problems and I did not I had a Lap done in 2911 with a 34 BMI. The LB cause a LOT of problems and did lose much weight. In July 2917, I had an emergency revision to Bypass with a BMI of 30. BMI is now 22 and I weigh 132. I go for my 6 month checkup tomorrow. So far, I am very happy with this surgery and SO happy to have the Lapband torture device out of a much thinner me!

Good luck in your journey. I hope you are as happy as I am.

I had pretty much identical stats. Sleeved just after Thanksgiving and down 20 lbs. From a size 14 to size 12. That's even with some holiday treat cheating. I'm gearing up to start exercising and expect that weight loss to speed up.

Also at a 37 BMI and getting sleeved on Jan. 11th. I have a couple co-morbid conditions so approval went pretty quick.

Me too, just got by with my lower bmi due to high blood pressure and type II diabetes. Scheduled for surgery next week. Getting nervous!

37 years old, 5’6, 239 pounds, BMI 38. I have 1 comorbidity of severe joint disease, and have already had a total knee replacement. I have been told that Cigna may not take osteoarthritis alone as a comorbidity, so I won’t know until the very end if I am approved. It is nerve wracking.

BMI 37 + metabolic syndrome

They'll probably make their money back in less than a year for all the prescriptions they have to pay for for me lop

It's going well! Only regret is not doing it sooner. There are some things I'm disappointed about, or still figuring out, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I still have cravings, food preferences haven't changed at all, and I experience hunger in 'typical' ways, but now, I'm satisfied with just a few bites. My pee smells strong/gross, I'm gassy (might be my food choices, or maybe the new normal?), and I've had a few bad experiences with poultry getting stuck (not to the point of throwing up, though!). Aside from those things, I feel pretty much normal, just with a teeny tiny stomach, lol.

I seem to be at a stall at 20# lost, but that seems pretty typical, and I'll be honest and say I haven't been perfect (at all) about following a strict diet. I'm sure things will pick back up.
