I'm wondering if someone with a lower bmi has less complications, has less complications? I started at 225-235 when I first went to the surgeon on May 1 2014 and now I'm 205, surgery day 3/16, bypass. I have severe sleep apnea.

I don't think it matters...I had a low BMI i was 235 the first day i saw the surgeon..lost a few lbs before surgery..what i had was type two diabetes, mild sleep Apnea and high blood pressure...All those are called co morbid conditions and thats why i got approved..

I was 248 when I started this journey last May. My surgery was 12/10/14 and I weighed 204. The main thing I get is "we've never had anyone with a BMI of 32 at three months out" and "it's only been three months and you've lost over 50% of your excess weight". I lose a little slower than others, but, I guess that's because I have less to lose.
