Would love to see a section for people with low BMI that is having the surgery.

Thanks!

I have a low BMI (33) and I will be getting the surgery next week!

My bmi was only 31 and I was sleeved September 25, 2013. I'm only 4 1/2 weeks out but I'm loving my sleeve.

I was sleeved 5 months ago with a 34 bmi weighing 185. Today my bmi is 25 and I weigh 144. It is much slower for us since there isn't as much to lose and my skin isn't bad at all. Good luck to those with upcoming surgeries. You will do great!!!

I have a low BMI and I really want to have this surgery in February. The problem is that my husband is very much against it. He says I can lose weight without surgery. I told him he was right! I can lose weight but I can't keep it off! I have lost the same 50 pounds over and over again. I am so tired of losing weight and gaining weight and feeling ashamed for gaining it back.

That's a great idea! My suggestion would be to start your own Low BMI Support Group. This will automatically create a forum as well as a place for all the low BMI members to connect and support each other.

My BMI was 35.9 when I first met with my surgeon in June, 34.8 on the day of surgery. I am 3 weeks out and have lost 12 lbs since surgery, though I have been in a stall for the last week. Hoping it breaks soon. I don't expect to lost fast due to having a lower BMI, but not losing anything so soon sucks. I am not freaking out just yet though, seems a stall around 3 weeks is common. I am sure things will get moving again soon.

Why couldn't it be added here?

It would be "here" if you click on the link he gave you you can create a group.

There are many subgroups here like my 5:2 group.

I clicked on his link but wondering what category I should put it under? Thanks laura!

I just created the group. It's called Low BMIers. It's under the category of Weight Loss. Sorry to jump the gun, tooth fairy!

Good! If you can get it up and running and show people how to join it's really a great thing, because you will be all going through the same things without outside chatter It's what I like about the group I belong to, it doesn't get derailed by off topic stuff..

That's hard-- what's going to be the definition of Low BMI- normal, overweight-- where is the cut off. "Low BMI" is less than 18, For this forum it would have to be set midrange of the overweight category 28-30. Success is individual dependent. No one can predict percentage or success rates since its so Variable.
