This is what I find wrong with going by BMI. A person, just on the cusp, should not need to gain weight to "prove" that they need this surgery to help them. I feel that if you are in the overweight category, have tried everything and have still not succeeded, that you can take this option. My dr. refused to let me get the weight loss injection as well because my BMI was too low. I was told I needed to gain weight so that I could essentially lose then..... That makes absolutely no sense to me. I am coming to get help before it becomes too much.

That's exactly what I have been told as well. I should not have to wait until I am morbidly obese to take my weight into my hands. I agree with you about owning shares too haha I've literally tried tons of diet plans, bought the food, the pills, the books, the videos, I am over it all. I need a tool that will assist and keep assisting once I've lost the weight. I am mainly keeping this decision to myself, as I do not feel I will get the support I need.

Hi danita75, yes, I am referring to the sleeve. I hope it is the right choice, but I'm tired of the constant loss and gains. I just want to work on becoming a healthier, better me and for once, loving myself

Hi, first time posting here, but I am also at a BMI of 29.8. My BMI fluctuates up to 30 and then down to 29. I am always on the boarder of obese and have been my entire life. I am tired of it. I have a surgery scheduled in July. I am scared and have continual second thought myself but I have decided that this is the best option for myself. I am tired of constantly struggling with my weight. I feel that this tool will significantly help me in the long run.
