IS THERE A Facebook FOR LIGHT WEIGHTS

I wouldn't consider myself as a lightweight but I was too skinny and healthy for insurance coverage so I self paid in Mexico. Started at 39.5 bmi and am almost "normal" 9 months later at 25.1 bmi. Best decision I've ever made. Please ignore my sexy tall sock pic I have making fun of them' date=' but shows the difference.[/quote']

YOU LOOK AWSOME

You are just too cute! Congrats on your success. I was sleeved in Mexico a last week for the same reasons. BMI was 37. Healthy, but with all the diabetes and other issues that my Dad suffers from, I decided to go to Mexico and make the lifestyle changes. I want to ride a horse next summer. Probably I'll pick a bigger one than the one you did. Hahaha

I'm a lightweight, too, with BMI of 38. I just turned in my application yesterday and got The Call a few minutes ago--100% approved. Cigna didn't even bat an eye.

I'm 5' and was 198 at the beginning of my journey my BMI was 39; after 6 months I got approved by my insurance for August 22, I'm on my pre-op liquid diet and down to 184 I'm hoping to lose at least 60 or 65 :-) that's my goal.

I hope they do, I guess they look at your BMI and medical problems like cholesterol and HBP and you will get approved , at the beginning I tought they were going to deny me because I was under 100 over Weigth but they go by your BMI.

. Which Dr. Did you use in Mexico

[tina5978 33]

Just realized I'm the only one who hasn't properly posted their stats (and I started the thread HA) so here goes.

Right' date=' so "lightweight" at:

Starting BMI: 35 at 185lbs for 5'1"

Now: 32.1 at 170lbs (the weight's creeping up fast again, ugh nothing works long enough)

Lost 15lbs doing paleo/primal (low carb/low cal/high protein/mod fat/no sugar/no grains) for 3 months. Still on the same lifestyle but the weight's creeping up faster than I lost it, by far. So, 72lbs to lose to get to normal weight. I'd be happy with even half of that right now. Praying I don't gain back to 185 again (my body likes this weight a little too much!)

Surgery has been approved at the MI Doctor Hospital/Clinic in TJ, Mexico by Dr. Israel Cabrera/Valenzuela for either June/July/August. Have to get the finances together, and the hubster needs to get off work for 5 days which is becoming the biggest challenge as at least 4 of his employees want to vacation for 2 undecided weeks each one of these months this summer. Seriously? My luck! lol.[/quote']

I am 4'10 and 182.2 day of surgery which was 3 days ago. Wondering how your doing and if you've been sleeved. Worried this will be a slow process for me :/

4 weeks out...9 pounds lost since surgery...34 pounds list all together...size 16 to 12. I need some encouragement because I'm not losing hardly any weight. What's going on?

Hey doll. Can you share your diet, maybe we can help figure out why? I'm down 9 lbs - 11 days post op, feels slow but I'm going to keep at it. Just remember why you did this and keep pushing .
