Hey guys! I'm getting sleeved July 1st. I have a BMI of 68. I'm in several groups, and I haven't seen anyone similar to me. I'm 26, 5'2, and 368 lbs. Anyone with similar stats??? I would love to make some friends :)

Hi Amanda, I scheduled for surgery July 5th as well! I thought I wohld be the only one crazy enough to do it the day after 4th of July!

Hahaha my thought exactly. I love the 4th of July so much. So this year in my mind, the Fireworks are going to be in celebration of my life changing! I am getting so excited for the surgery and a little nervous for the post-op. I want so badly to succeed at weightloss this time!

Well we will be in it together!

Hey so I'll be 29 end of July. I'm 5'4" with a bmi of 65.2. I'm hoping to go in for surgery on or near my bday, I can't think of a better way to Celebrate 30 next yr than with a new me! I was wondering if you or anyone else was told they had to lose a certain % of weight or # of pounds before they would do surgery? Look forward to hearing more from you

@Kyn13. I was not told that, but I'm also self pay. From what I understand your insurance company can dictate that as well. I do have to do a longer pre-op liquid diet because of my BMI though. That's the only real difference I've seen between my experience and other's with lower weights.

Yeah I'm definitely not looking forward to the pre op liquid diet. My mom had to do it for two weeks, she said the first 3 days are the worst. How long will you have to do the diet?
