Hi

Im considering the process of a gastric sleve as I don't want to get to the point where I am very overweight / obese as opposed to where I am right now which is just overweight

Ive never successfully lost any weight unless I do extensive week / 2 week bootcamps where I lost weight but within six months it back on. So I do another Bootcamp and lose weight and it's a vicious cycle

Since hurting my back ive not been able to excercise so the weight has gone on and im the heaviest I have ever been in my life

I know that within 6 month I will have our on another stone and so on till im really really overweight

So im seeing a sleave as a preventive measure to help me lose weight / maintain it

I know it seems drastic but I have been struggling with my weight for over 20 years and after reasearching I think it's probably the way forward for myself

So will surgeons in Mexico take someone who otherwise healthy with a low BMI of around 30 :/31

I probably only have 60 lbs to lose but I don't want to get heavier and have to lose 100 pounds it's seems stupid to me to get morw overweight in order to lose weight

Im from the UK so they wont consider me in the UK but im not bothered about going abroad for surgery as long as I do my reasearch

Has anyone had a sleave for similar reasons or with a low BMI

Thanks

My BMI is 29. I'm going to do it. The hunger that goes with dieting sucks. I eat the right foods and exercise is how I lost 65 lbs so far but I am constantly battling the gurgling and want more. It just plain sucks. If the tool is available why not do it.

What's the low BMI FB group called?

I had a BMI of 29 and was sleeved in January. I'm from Canada but had to go to Mexico cuz no doctor in Canada would do it.

My weight loss has been pretty slow, down just over 20 lbs in two months, but I'm okay with that.

I don't regret the surgery one bit.

I was very active before and struggled to lose the weight, and the few times I was successful I just gained the weight plus more back within a few months.

I was a binger and although I still have cravings sometimes, I can only eat a small amount. In the past everyone always told me dieting so strictly was bad for me and that's why I binged. I always knew I just had to learn to eat treats in moderation, but without the sleeve it just wasn't possible. Now it it finally is!
