So I'm considered a lightweight....yea....thats me LOL! At 32 BMI I'm technically lightweight. I have been at 35 BMI for the last several years or so and have actually managed to lose a bit on a low carb/high protein/mod fat/low cal/sugar free (paleo/primal) lifestyle, but am as usual having a very hard time keeping it off consistantly. It keeps creeping up.

Was just wondering if there were anymore people on here with about 100lbs or less to lose, or otherwise considered lightweight comparatively. Any who've had the procedure? If you've had the procedure, how much have you been losing? What's your progress, and how're you feeling about the procedure so far?

Thought I'd make a thread for us that have less to lose than the SMB or even the MB people on here. So we can share our experiences and just chill.

BTW, thought I'd add. Everyone is welcome! All sizes! All opinions are valued here!

I am hoping to shed 75 pounds, although those pesky weight charts say I should lose 87 pounds.

I have about 100 lbs to lose. I started at 232, i am215 now. Being sleeved 10/22. I am 5 ' 1 1/2" tall so I am pretty round....cant wait to feel and look ...well not like a Weeble ( kids toy)

Good luck Marcy! October is when Im hoping to have mine. still gotta wait for insurance though..ugh

. Sometimes the chart isn't the important number it'S the getting healthy part that is most important so hang in there and you'll know when your number is good

I have signed up June 27. BMi about 35. Ready to get it done. Tired of this is understatement. It is an affliction. Going with Alvarez in Mexico. Can't believe I'm doing this. I am medical professional and my insurance does cover. But not any of the pre or post op stuff which comes to about 3 or 4k so they're going to try to get it from you anyway. That is prob about their cost. forget it I'm not going thru 6 months of appointments and psychoanalysis ' date=' trying work raise kids just to have part of it covered and wonder if I'll be approved. So that's where I am ![/quote']

These are the same reasons I chose Mexico. "Ain't nobody got time for all that." Lol! I will follow the plan after surgery and exercise.

I'm 5" @ 220...bmi too much teehee my goal is to weigh less than my husband does @160!

Im 5 feet 1 in. And 215-220...depends on the day. I hate when ppl say I carry my weight well bc I have a smaller waist and butt. Im still OBESE!!!! I am pushing for 130-140 bc of my thick frame.

Butterflies in my tummy this morning! 4 days until surgery! Start a three day clear liquid diet tomorrow! This mornings weight is 154lbs! At 5ft that's a chunky squatty body! Very top heavy so out of proportion. Typical chart says ideal weight is 101-107. That's too small. I'm a petite/small frame. Would be happy at 110-119. Any sleeves with 30BMI that has a success story? Thanks
