I wonder how many people had the sleeve at this BMI? I just need to lose 70 pounds. Will be happy if I lose 40-50. THANK YOU

I had the surgery at a BMI of 35 with no co-morbities. I expect to lose 100% of the weight to take me to a normal BMI and my surgeon agrees this is a realistic goal.

There are plenty of lower BMI sleevers out there. Just do your homework so you know what to expect. Also realize that you won't see the rapid weightloss that a high BMI sleever will.

My BMI was a 36 when I got sleeved and they weren't going to do the surgery until they checked my medical records and found that I had diabetes. I had to be persistent and even changed my height from 5'7" to 5'6". But I've lost 77 lbs so far and am looking pretty darn skinny. :)

My BMI was 35 and I was self-pay in Mexico 20 months ago. Reached goal in 10 months but I wanted to lose 82 lbs initially, but kept going until my weight stabilized at 137 or so.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
