I went from 48.9 (morbidly obese) to 32.3 (obese) in 17 months.

After my unbanding I'm going in the wrong direction again.... :)

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?

If you ok with that.?:0) I think its a great post as well. But since I voted & am only 5 months out the majority will be in the middle range. I would really love to know Sue about those out for a year or more & how their bmi are. Its such a healthy/motivating bit of information to have. Thanks for doing it.

I am at 30.6. I am so close to being below 30 that I can taste it. If I said I am satisfied I would be lying. I would be quite satisfied with a BMI of about 27. At least I think I would.

Not bad from a starting BMI of 47.

I started at 46, now at 35, eight months post op. My overall goal weight is just somewhere in the healthy or "normal" BMI range.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
