MayFlowers w/ BMI of 50+?



Recommended Posts

My surgery is May 27th. I started in January with a BMI of 60. I have it down to 52. My surgeon will not do lapbands if your BMI is over 50. So, I still have 14 pounds to lose in 20 days. Anyone in the 50 or 50+ zone and want to keep tabs on each other??? It would be very nice to have others to talk with that are in the same situations. It is going to be such a long road. But, I am really looking forward to it!

holla!

bmi is 59 at the moment. my doc didn't say anything about 60+ bmi - just that if anyone gains 20lbs between first appt and surgery they cancel it.

Hey, im at about 50 BMI right now. I would love to keep tabs. My information was sent to the insurance company on Monday, so if I hear something soon, There is a chance I might get my surgery this month. She said all surgeries are scheduled 2 weeks after the approval....cross your fingers!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
