Hi there.
So I will make this as short as I can
I have had a good amount of health issues and surgeries throughout my life. I am a 34 y.o. mom of 3 who has no appendix or gallbladder. Also I have had a few brain surgeries and procedures before ultimately having to have craniotomy all thanks to a A.V.M. in my cerebellum. There was a time when I had a "G-tube" as well.

I was 210 and was starting my lifestyle changes because I was completely unhappy with myself. My primary prescribed me semiglutide pills since my weight and my fasting glucose levels weren't ideal
He also referred me to a WLS dept to gain information on the VGS.
He believes that I am perfectly healthy just overweight.

I have gone through 5 months of nutrition classes. One a month. My final class is Thursday (tomorrow) and I'm uncertain if this is for me.

I am down to 184 which I am absolutely proud of myself for. I know that with my height (5'2) the normal but high bmi is 135/136. I believe 137 starts the overweight bmi section.

I see the surgeon in Jan & psychologist in Feb. I am not sure id pass that clearance with these thoughts.
And since im on the lower end for weight loss I am afraid I would be denied anyway. I don't have any health conditions req for WLS if you don't meet bmi requirements

Haha I know im annoying. I want the surgery but then don't at the same time.

I have improved my lifestyle choices, getting more active, proportioning meals etc but I'm not sure if I continue with just these things I could lose more weight.


Ugggh I frustrate myself. Anyone start on the lower side?

Does BMI really matter.

5'2s where are you?

I know everyone carries their weight differently so it looks different on everyone.
What is comfortable?
