I'm going to start my own forum so people who can't stand me won't be annoyed by me any longer and people who get a kick out of my witty sarcastic banter can come along!! Lol

Life is about opening up our minds and hearts to love and understand others whether their lives or experiences are the same as ours or not.

You are a very smart man Dean...very open minded, sympathetic, understanding, and non-judge mental. I believe that is the kind of man His farther and i created in our son and I'm so proud of him on his 21st bday!!!!!!

This thread is loose!!! LOL
Good luck to anyone in the decisions they choose to make with their health.
Sheeesh people .......

*WITHOUT WANTING TO OPEN IT UP AGAIN*
A BMI of 30 is obese (just). If someone has made good attempts to get to a healthy weight and can't (like all of us) I say the sooner the better.

Wow peeps are mean. Life is too short get it done do whatever you want. It's your body.

Soda is no good. Not even diet. It's crap.

Lol no I think by now id have to change my name and go full "witness protection" if I was trying to hide .. Just thought people might be more understanding if I didn't have the other photo from a "diet pill" period haha

I googled what I would have to weigh to have a bmi of 55. I would have to weigh 330 freaking pounds. Congrats to rollargrl for wanting to do something now before it gets too out of hand !!!!! The surgery is actually more safe at your weight.

I was at 30.8 bmi. That's still considered obese. Do your research people.

I had lower BMI too when I was sleeved. I support you.

You are entitled to your opinion. Thank you.

Rollargrl if this helps I was at a bmi of 30.8 a little over two years ago. I just had Tummy Tuck, lypo and breast lift after losing the weight. I've never been happier. And my wonderful vsg coordinator Trish uses me when she has other patients with questions regarding having surgery with lower bmi but still in the obese category. Here is my pic. I am only 10 1/2 days post op from my tummy tuck. Life is great. Enuf said....

You are obese rollargrl. I get that. I was too. It doesn't make you less worthy of surgery because you aren't obese as others. I applaud you for having the courage and the brains to know you need help and chose your path.

Oh geez. Everybody just stop. Rollargrl was just looking for support but instead she felt she got something else and it hurt her to be asked why any doc would give her surgery.

By the way , I truly didn't feel hunger until almost 2 years out. I ate to keep from being exhausted. Everybodys experience is different. ilove my sleeve. I feel like im finally safe in somebody else's wonderful body.

I totally understand and get this....
