low bmi #27 sleeve - Mexico

I've had the sleeve done 3 months ago. I was 32 bmi and now I am 27 bmi. Ssme height as you. Even though I've had ZERO complications, I would not advise it for you. Go with the low carb diet and exercise they recommend after the sleeve and see how it works for you. You're at the point you can turn it around.

@lovingmyhealth2016 Thank you so much for your time and response. It means the world ❤️ The only problem with diets at this point is that not ONLY do I suffer w/ GERD but I also struggle w/ IBS. So, dieting is almost impossible as most of the foods required are triggers

@lovingmyhealth2016 Awww thanks so much for your kind words and support.

did you do it? you and i are same size -- i have my sleeve in a week

I had GERD. I got the sleeve done and later a repair of a hiatal hernia. (If the hernia had made itself known before surgery, they could've fixed it at the same time). After having the partial Dor fundoplication procedure, I have had absolutely zero problems with GERD and have been able to come off my medication for it.

If your dr will do sleeve on you with just 27 BMI you need to ask some good doctors. Perhaps investing your time in diet and exercise would be better spent. Surgery can wait for someone like you

I'd personally do everything within my power to try to lose weight before going under the knife and forking out 5 grand. You're not that overweight. Have you read all the issues that ( can) arise after gastric surgery? My cousin had it done. She has a very difficult time absorbing vitamins. Her hair has thinned tremendously. I believe it's also not advised if you're planning to have children. A little exercise and cutting a hundred or so calories a day may be all you need.

Hello guys. Wow! I kinda checked out for a minute LOL Thank you ALL for your comments. I am grateful for all of the feedback. My biggest concern is long term weight management. Diets are way too difficult for me because I also suffer IBS and everything that you should eat to help you lose weight are triggers for IBS episodes. However, my diet is actually pretty healthy as I am a pescatarian. Moderate exercise/activity aggravates my previously injured back. Needless to say Im often left feeling hopeless. So, I have to do something because Im not getting any younger and I do NOT want to suffer through obesity like most of the women in my family. The way I see it is that Im investing in preventative care from: GERD, obesity, diabetes and hypertension.

Honestly, I would not have someone operate on me who was willing to do it at your bmi. Perhaps some counseling would help? It sounds like you might have some body issues going on. That's just imho, looking out for you.

I too have a low BMI of 29...however, I have HBP and a family history of obesity with diabetes & heart disease. Please keep posts as how your doing. I'm looking into having the sleeve done as I'm constantly going up and down with weight and tired of worrying about it. Best of luck

How'd it go ? What did you do ? I have a low bmi of 30 sleeve scheduled, let's see is it goes , I'd like to loose only 30/40 lbs TOPS
