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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
