also interested in this. i am 33 BMI and getting sleeved on the 27th. would be nice to have any additional info on low bmi folks! :)

my biggest question for you low BMIers is did you lose shoe sizes? my feet are surprisingly thinner that most of my body but i do wear a 10-10.5 and just curious if my feet will shrink. no way to know but wait and see i suppose!

I was a 33 BMI (I am now a 26 and just barely in the overweight category). I have lost 54lbs in 5.5 months. No regrets at all except I wish this was available 20 years ago.

I was 206lbs the day of surgery and am now 169 at 8 weeks. I of course don't lose as fast as some, but no I don't regret it. I didn't take any before pics. I meant to but just never did. I still don't take pics of myself. Maybe when I reach my goal weight I will feel differently.

I was around 275 (BMI 38) when I decided to get a VSG last July. I had my surgery on 10/6/15 and just weighed in at 199.

The nice thing about having a lower BMI is that you can get it all over and done with pretty quickly. I'm 15 weeks post surgery and 9 lbs from my goal.

That said, I was very fortunate in that I had no complications, no dumping, vomiting or pain.

Since week 9, I've been able to eat anything, just no more than 5-6 ounces at one time. I do still track all my food and exercise.

From a diet point of view, I have become the person I always envied!

Now, my next issue will be maintenance. I'm not really sure what to do differently without sabotaging what I've changed in my lifestyle.

Stay tuned...

I had my surgery on 9/8/15.....weighing 197, I'm now 147...greatest thing ever. I have more energy. I'm off all my blood pressure pills. I really feel great. I was in size 16 pants, I bought a pair 9. The pants fit when I left the store but 2 weeks later, the pants were too big... I'm not buying anymore until I reach goal.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
