I'm a new bandster too, so my BMI has only moved one category (from morbidly obese to severely obese)

[sunsett 2]

I votes too, but I am a newey bandster (Sept)

Ohhhhh. She is asking for BMI before banding. I was right at 40, just below.

(but that is post surgery........lowest bmi is under 25. At 20-25 years was still around 150 lbs, under 25 at about 130.)

I've gone from 41 (morbidly obese) to 27.9 (overweight). Can't wait to get to normal.

These polls are fun, but again, we're not talking about a representative sample of bandsters here. I'd venture to say that 95% of the people who might vote on this poll are works in progress.

Good point. I should have made it for people who were, say...two years post-op or more.

Should I delete this and start over?
