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!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
