I was told by my Dr 6 weeks ago that I needed to lose 30 pounds before my surgery to get my BMI as close to 50 as possible. I started at a 56.7 and I am now at 50.5! Still above 50 but seeing that my surgery is on friday I think that I did ok in six weeks. I am now excited for the work to come and that I don't have to be on the rollercoaster of weightloss forever as long as I work with my band and not against it!
