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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
