I'm scheduled to have surgery 6/24. I have a BMI of 37 and I was wondering if anyone else had a similar starting point? I had a bunch of comorbidites so my insurance company approved with ease. I was wondering how much weight people with similar starting BMIs have lost. Thank you!

I was 39. Expect slower loss, in my opinion.

May I ask, did your insurance pay with your bmi?

I was a bmi of 36 with co-morbidities. Insurance covered surgery with no problems. I don't feel that my weight loss was any slower.

My surgery is on Tuesday. I've been on my pre-op diet since June 5th. I've already lost 17lb. I was starting at 240 I'm now 223 (I'm 5'7"). I'm excited to get this done so that my back and knees will stop hurting!

I'm 11 weeks and 34 pounds down. I've had two frustrating stalls and gone up a few pounds then dropped them. I don't really exercise yet but I do increase Protein and Water as well as some calories when I stall which helps. I try and vary my calories a little so my body is not thinking it is always starving. It is slow progress but then I'm down in clothes and feeling great! Our journeys will all differ, don't panic or lose hope, just keep chugging along.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
