I've been heavy all my life but I think I'm on the lower end and afraid of denial am I alone?

I am 5'5" starting weight 212. My bmi was 35.5.... I was just sick of the endless diets without success . I just had my surgery on Friday and I feel it was the best decision for me. It's your body...no one can tell you how you should feel. If in your heart you feel your ready to get off the roller coaster....do it! Good luck to you..whatever you decide.

PS...interestesing side note, the next day the doctor came in and said my stomach was not that big to begin with! He only had to make 4 incisions and gave me a size 32 bougie

I'm right there with you 5'2" 211 BMI 38. I was afraid of being denied as well but I have at least 3 comorbidities. Trust your surgeon he wouldn't put you all the prep work if he didn't believe you weren't an idea candidate.
