My name is Sheila and I apologize before hand for the length. So I have been on this journey now for three months. I have a long list of medical issues and some serious extra weight. I just had my first meeting with the surgeon last Thursday and though it wasn't bad it wasn't all great. I am looking to get the bypass due to severe reflux (from what I gather bypass is less likely to increase the issue). During the meeting the doctor did express concern regarding my BMI. On day one it was 70 point something (I think .4 but not sure) and evidently anything over 70 they auto shift to the sleeve. With that said I am proud to add that I am down twelve pounds (so so excited ) and my current BMI is 69.8 Now; long story longer is there anyone else who has experienced this. I am proud of my 12 pounds (it's not a lot but for me it is really huge) but I can't help but feel it's not enough.
