Yay or Nay: Weight loss before surgery for better success

[STLoser 1,099]

My bmi was 69.9 prior to surgery.. I lost 25 pounds before. About 13 of that was on the 2 week preop diet.
I had surgery in July. I was 368 the day of surgery (he was 393), and as of today I'm 245 with a bmi of 43. Being short sucks lol. I am still losing weight. I probably will never get to a normal bmi, but I would like to get to about 165 pounds which puts me in the overweight, not obese category for my height.
Even at my weight now, I feel incredible and like a whole new person.
