Higher EWL for lower BMI patients.

Hello Britt,

I haven't scheduled it yet. I am waiting on my financing Once that happens I will schedulule.

I am estimating May. How about you? are you scheduled?

I would love to have a buddy.

Thanks Annie

I have a BMI of 31 & had my surgery march 6th in Tijuana. (8 days post op) my goal weight loss is 62lbs. I'm 5'8.5" & was 212. I've already lost 7lbs including my 3 days preop. They had me not do the per op diet other than the clear liquids for 3 days w/ the low BMI. I have a feeling my weight loss will be slower than someone w/ a high BMI but I'm still expecting it to come off. I did have the fear of too much weight loss but I really feel once I get to a certain weight it'll level out.

Thank you Chas, what doctor did you use in Mexico?

Thank you Mandi as well, you are doing fantastic.

I am glad that your energy levels are up so soon. I imagine being very tired for the first month or so.

Please keep in touch with your progress....I appreciate all who are giving their input to my post. I am very encouraged about the next step in my journery!!

Congratulations' date=' Tina!

I am between 33 andand 34 BMI and I would love to follow you and hear about your progress.

What doctor did you chose in Mexico? I would also like to know how much you have lost in the last 2 weeks and with your preop diet as well.

I am looking at Dr. Ariel Ortiz out of OCC in Tijuana.

Can't wait to hear about your journey so far.
