I was sleeved on 4/3 and have got some of the same reactions . My BMI barely qualified but I had several of the co morbidities . The pre op nurse asked how much I was able to loose on the pre diet when I said almost 20 lbs she said " you don't think you can loose more on your own and not have this surgery " I said sure I can loose it and gain it back twice! I felt judged! I was extremely nauseous after surgery and vomited most of the day / night .. A different nurse said why did you have this done ?. I said because I want to feel better and I have 2 kids to live and be heathy for. So I definetly understand what your feeing .
