Is your BMI less than 25?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone out there lost at least 10 stones and achieved a BMI of less than 25?

Could you please let me know how you did it, which op you had and who did the op.

My old 4ml band fitted by Mr John Rogers in London 4 yrs ago is going to be removed and I am on Mr Sean Woodcock's NHS list to have this done.

I don't know what to do next and would appreciate your advice.

87kg and gaining fast,

Nicky

I have a sleeve, not a band. I don't know the stone equivalent but I lost 90 lb. and my BMI is right on the line between 25.1 and 24.9.

I would ask why you are getting the band removed and why you think another band is the answer? There are times when this makes sense, but a lot of time it's better to get a different surgery the second time.

For example, if your band worked great but recently started leaking, then getting another one makes sense. But if your band slipped, most likely it will slip again because something about slipping seems to make you prone to it.

Hello and thank you for your reply.

I have put my reply as a new question in introductions. That way I hope that I'll get more responses.

Well done with your weight loss. I don't know what a sleeve is but I'm encouraged that it has worked for you.

Nicky

      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.
