The name of the face book group is Low BMI Friends. Figured that was pretty vague. Lol! I have it where any one can find the group but members can only read the messages. If you are interested in joining it then ask to join and I will approve. After everyone has joined I will make it secret where no one can even find the group unless they are invited. :)

fab name is Badia Muminah

You sound like my twin also 5'3 And 200 pounds. got down to 186. Pre op.

I am in the hospital now and everything went great. Dr Kolasch is my doctor and he is in the Matthews office of SE Bariatrics. The drop down menu on this site took me back up so many times I coulD Not put his name on he is great and at one time was serving our country as a trauma surgeon in Afghanistan. I will keep you posted as to my weight loss and journey, but I am hopeful. I even geT off 2 of the 3 blood pressure medicines today and the third within a month. Yeah, because they were starting to hurt my kidney function

I also had a very low BMI but surgery was recommended by my cardiologist who encouraged me to have it in order to reduce the uncontrolled hypertension, which I have struggled with for over a year. Just got sleeved and I'm 9 days post op. I could have never achieved the 16 lb weight loss without this surgery. I have actually felt myself being happy, knowing I am not resigned to a life of restrictions because of health/weight! My knees have stopped hurting already and today I will be going through some clothes to find a few pieces to get me through the next low size, which I already anticipate needing very soon.

The comments and opinions of others only show the total lack of awareness in our culture about obesity-related illness. But I know in my heart I've just given myself a clean slate to renew my health. I would love to be buddies and join in supporting you through making the next year the best year of our lives!

      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?
