My surgery is May 27th. I started in January with a BMI of 60. I have it down to 52. My surgeon will not do lapbands if your BMI is over 50. So, I still have 14 pounds to lose in 20 days. Anyone in the 50 or 50+ zone and want to keep tabs on each other??? It would be very nice to have others to talk with that are in the same situations. It is going to be such a long road. But, I am really looking forward to it!

holla!

bmi is 59 at the moment. my doc didn't say anything about 60+ bmi - just that if anyone gains 20lbs between first appt and surgery they cancel it.

Hey, im at about 50 BMI right now. I would love to keep tabs. My information was sent to the insurance company on Monday, so if I hear something soon, There is a chance I might get my surgery this month. She said all surgeries are scheduled 2 weeks after the approval....cross your fingers!!
