I had surgery June 30, 2012 in Mexicali by dr Aceves my stats are 5'0 & starting weight 200lbs as of jan 30, 2013 I met my goal of 130lbs. I feel amazing so all of you slow low Bmi'ers don't give up hope. My only regret is not doing this sooner.

I'm curious, did your doc give you the goal of 130? I'm 5' as well and my goal is 110. My first doc wanted me to shoot for 105.

4'10 here and at 200 lbs pre-op. NUT said 113-125 for someone with a medium to large frame person my height. For a small framed person it's more like 96-104! I'm about a medium frame so I'm shooting for 120'ish.

My doc gave me 130 as well- I'm 4'11.5". I have a rather large body frame for being so short. I'm rather muscular as well. I was 135 in high school with very little excess fat- I know it was 20% or less. I doubt I will have that much muscle now- so I'm going with 130.

Hi iggychic! That's my personal goal because I was at 130 before having my kids. But I would be ecstatic if I go lower than that ;)

That was my goal the dr told me 125-128 i'm also medium build also I really don't want to be to skinny and look anorexic or sick. I feel so good I'm doing things I never thought I could do and Zumba is my addiction now.

I'm glad ya'll are doing so well and I'll go look at that pic :)

But FYI...just in case you go lower and it freaks you out LOL I was 108 just ten years ago and I am also a medium build but I was never skinny or anorexic looking. I have a big bumm and boobs even at that weight, so lots of curves :) At 100 or less I do get too thin....I don't feel good at that weight and it's impossible to maintain for me. I just wanted to share because sometimes we set goals and our body sets other goals, so don't freak out if you keep losing....just wait to buy your new wardrobe til you are really done LOL

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
