at my 1 yr post op last week, i looked at the chart (like you my BMI was 62) and i noticed that i am not super morbid obese but now just morbid obese.. i can deal with that. YOU are doing super fantastic..

btw, i found this online

BMI categories include:

• Normal BMI 19 to 24
  
• Overweight BMI 25 to 29
  
• Obese BMI 30 to 39
