After reading your post something occurred to me. Tomorrow is my 4 month post-sleeve anniversary, and I feel completely opposite than people you referred to in your post. As my weight drops, I am more conscious of the BMI vs. weight ratio. I don't want to abandon the BMI stats at all - in fact the BMI chart is crucial to one of my goals - I want to be out of the obese category all together. I have lost 98 lbs in 4 months. It has been a hard, but a totally doable road to go down. I believe that when your mind is ready your body follows. GREAT POST
