    I had a BMI of 31 and I was self pay. I did the roller coaster diet thing for so many years I finally decided to do it and I don't regret it at all. I did a 2 week low carb diet required by my doc bef

  • Honestly Bruce a BMI over 30 is considered obese. Unless you are a board certified bariatric surgeon I'm not sure you know what your talking about lol I've heard of BMIs as low as 28 needing surgical

Who was your surgeon?

Hi Ladies. I'm happy to find others with low BMI's like myself. My BMI is 36. My current weight is between 205-210 (largest weight ever). I'm very unhappy and depressed. I am also concerned about loosing too much weight. I enjoy my curves but not at this point. My first appointment is June 22. I will be self paying as well.

Welcome!

Welcome!

I paid $5500 in Cancun with Dr. Hector Perez

I am right at 10 weeks now and lost a total on 40.4 lbs. I weighed in at 162.6 this morning. 9lbs was pre-op

That is awesome! Have u exercised? If so what have u done? What is your calorie intake?

Thx

Tia ????

I haven't had it done yet, but I'm scheduled for 6/28 w/Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana! I'm also a RN. I feel I'm being proactive - rather than watch the scale continue to go up, I want to do something NOW (I've taken diet pills for years, I'm sick of it).

Good luck! Please keep us updated! I can't find a whole lot of people who have had it done at a lower BMI so I am not sure what to expect.

That's where I went. They were great.

How is everyone doing? I would love to hear how each of you are doing

Hello, I am 9 days post op and doing great. Getting better every day. I've lost 10 pounds so far! Yay! I only did 1 week of the pre-op diet so I didn't loose much on that. How are u doing? ????

26 days out, feeling great. SW 200 CW 182. No problems at all other than needing to be more creative with mushy foods. Can't eat much and averaging 600 calories per day, but no vomiting, slimes or pain!

@@alindsey Were you sleeved 5/8? 6/8 would be more like 7 weeks ago. Just curious about your weight loss because we were similar SW.
