How much weight did u loose? Im at 30 BMI and although I'm trying to eat MORE I think I'm stressed about organising this surgery and the scale isn't going up - worried ill get to Mexico and after 3 days of liquids ill go under and they won't do it ...

I'm surprised you went through with it - it sounds like the whole thing just makes you angry. I'd appreciate no more comments about it being absurd I'm having it done as all you're doing is making me want to delete my main source of ongoing support & information.

I support you rollargirl, you go girl

Thank you - I'm so upset right now ... I thought this was a safe place

Do not let other people upset you, put your head up high.

Actually, I'm happy. Happier then I've been in years actually, but then again I was a 55 bMI, I just broke back into the 30's. Either way, good luck. If you think this radical surgery is going toile your life better then more power to you.

I had lower BMI too when I was sleeved. I support you.

I feel like I'm too fat for life and not big enough for here

You're a 30 BMI and you want to get sleeved???? Why?? That shouldn't even be allowed.

Also' date=' my surgeon MADE me go on a month long liquid ONLY diet before surgery. I lost 49 lbs in those 28 days. I am glad that he did it and believe that every sleever should do a month long liquid diet, it really gives you an idea what you're in store for. These 24 hour pre op diets are also rediculous and shouldn't be allowed.[/quote']

Not every doctor is the same, nor every patient. In fact, I've never heard of a MONTH long pre op diet... Two weeks max is what I've heard is common, however mine was only one week..... Each case will be different, so one isn't "better" than the other.... Just sayin

There's no where safe rollagrl. The worlds a messy and imperfect place. Especially the Internet where everyone's an expert and a critic!

I was at 30.8 bmi. That's still considered obese. Do your research people.

I should clarify - a safe place where I won't be judged about my weight ... I know there are pricks who like to be unhelpful everywhere, just wasnt expecting it from here

*high five!!!

I only have a 30 bmi too! Yeow!

Big frank had to go on a month long pre op because he was so huge. They do this to decrease the fat around your organs so they can see what the hell they are doing in there. It's way more risky and difficult for the surgeon when your bmi is so high.
