Anyone end up with a normal BMI after weightless surgery?

[Ninja-slash-nerd 12]

I'm in a 39 BMI and I just wanted to know if it was possible to reach a normal BMI after weightloss surgery. If you have, in what BMI did you start off on?

I am at a normal BMI now at a year and 5 months out. I am not sure the exact BMI number I started but it was morbidly obese.

I started BMI 39..5 it's been 6.5months and at present I am 6lbs away from normal BMI So a total loss of 72lbs already. These last 6lbs are killing me so I would just like to hit normal once. Honestly I am so happy it's okay if I don't.

Look through the maintenance forum posts and look at the tickers at the bottom of the posts. You will be able to see the starting and ending BMIs very easily, and you will find that there are many, many folks here who ended up with normal BMIs after surgery.

Started my journey at 43.9 bmi

Currently just made it into the overweight category at 29.9 after 15 weeks

But I feel bmi is a vague scale based on what my doctor and dietitian says for my ideal weight I may not even get into normal bmi.

currently at 220 my ideal goal is 190 which is 25.7 so it's weird...

I started at 46 and I'm at a normal weight.

I had my surgery in May and my BMI was 42 at that time. I am now a 26.

My highest recorded wt (242 lbs) was a BMI Of 48.8. My starting wt with my bariatric surgeon (229 lbs) was a BMI of 46. I just recently reached my "ideal wt" (117 lbs) which means 100% of excess wt lost and I have a BMI of 23.6!

I am already close to a normal bmi at 3 months out! I am certain I will be there in a couple months.
