Carol, if you're 5'2" and weigh 261 your BMI is 47.7.

My bmi was 53 at surgery and now it's 34.2. I am 7&1/2 months out and have lost 113 pounds since surgery. I am super happy with my results so far.

I've lost 240 pounds and apparently still have a BMI of 46...

So I'm guessing I was probably a big unit back in that day...

I just found out my insurance covers it so I am doing lots of research to find out if this is right for me I'm 28 and I'm 330 lbs and only 5'3" I've been big my whole life and with pcos it's been extremely hard for me to lose weight and keep it off reading everyone's stories just sounds like a dream to me it all sounds like it could never happen to me since I was 5 I have always been bigger so I can't even imagine being skinner

My BMI is 54 and I am getting the sleeve. It's the only option for me since I have inflammatory bowel disease. My surgeon said in his practice the sleeve has been just as effective as the bypass, it just may take a little longer to lose the weight with the sleeve.

My Bmi is 48 and I still have almost a year until I can have the surgery. I guess I have plenty of time to do my research and get my ducks in a row as much as possible.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
