Hi there everyone. I am considering getting sleeved and have not yet had my cousultation with my Dr. My BMI 31 which is low for this type of proceedure but I wish to proceed anyways I beleive I need the extra help I need to lose the excess weight I am at; I weight 225 lbs at 5'11 and want to get to 180 lbs post surgery. Is there any added risk of doing the proceedure at this BMI level or are the risks the same as one with a higher BMI. I am just curious. Thanks!

Now that I have my surgery locked in I must say I am both equally excited and nervous at the same time. I never had surgery and I am a bit scared of the idea, although I know I am in good hands. I am also wondering what my life will be like post surgery....it will be a new journey.
