1. Did any of you have a BMI under 40?

2. If so, what (if any) co-morbidities do/did you have?

Hey Karen,

Well as you know I have UHC...My BMI was over 40 but I had hardly any co-morbidities. At the time I was having blood pressure problems and some achy joints but that was about it.

Good Luck!!!

I'm only 10 pounds away from the 40 BMI mark. I'd hate to do it, but it wouldn't be hard at all for me to pack on 10 more pounds.

I packed on about 10lbs from april to Sept from the stress alone. Wear heavier clothing for weigh in, don't take your shoes off (hiking boots can weight about 1lb.) Eat before you go...and eat lots of asian food in days before. You might be able to manage 5-8 just from Water weight and clothing choices LOL.

Melissa,

You might just be on to something. I could wear my motorcycle boots and armored jacket; that should be worth several extra pounds :)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
