Then I say go for it. My surgeon told me that our bodies naturally taper off as we reach out goal and it becomes harder to lose weight. I only weighed 173 at surgery, I'm 5'6" and my surgeon wasn't worried about me losing too much. Plus, your BMI is high enough to qualify for surgery with comorbidities so you're an excellent candidate! Of course, talk to your dr & your NUT for real medical advice

Yes on 7/22/16. My high weight before the pre op diet was 180. Today, 28 days post op, I'm 156.

Best thing I've ever done!
