38 BMI and only 75 to lose



Recommended Posts

Ratios are pretty close to the same loss believe it or not. I was surprised to see the scores. I'm sure you are good and tired of being poked at and all the hearing that goes with surgery. I wish you luck and I hope this works for you. I'm sure it will. I give you credit to keep on trying????

I wish you luck moebeth! My think is I don't have any symptoms other than what they're saying so I'm really wondering why I can't get the sleeve. Meeting with my doctor in 3 weeks to discuss. Has your doctor turned in all of your things to insurance at this point? Do you have a lot to lose?

I'm on Medicare. I have my support meeting and my dietitian meeting on the 24th and I have my PCP appointment on 1 March and she's going to finish the letters. Then they send it for approval at that time.

I have 100 pounds to lose. I would like to lose 120.

Hiya, my BMI is 38 & I'm 106KG (234lb). I'm having bypass due to Type 2 Diabetes & a cardiac condition.

I've lost 6kg since the start of Jan & my surgery is in 2 days time. I'm so scared!

I'd say your definitely making the right decision for yourself. If you ever need to talk I'm here for you. I know it's very scary. I keep trying to look at the end like a year from now and how good we will feel! Hang in there and message me anytime!????

Hiya,

Thanks for your message. I'm 3 days out and at home resting up. The soreness is going away, but I've been very emotional and thinking wtf have I done. I know the beginning is difficult...I just want to eat normal food again. It's also a hassle crushing all my meds, dissolving some and having to inject a blood thinner twice a day to prevent clots.

I'm sure it will get better and my attitude will improve lol

Oh I'm so glad your on the other side at this point! I'm sure the beginning is extremely difficult. I can't imagine what your feeling. Just know there are a lot of people here who have been thru what your feeling. I will talk with you anytime you need or want to.

I still ask myself is this really what I want. Your going thru such a huge change. You also feel like crap but each day you will get stronger and better and before you know it you'll be telling me how amazing you feel and look! Hang in there. ????

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
