Hello Again! For any women over 5 ft 10 inches tall... Stats & Info Compilation

Hello Again Everyone!

I just want to take a moment and thank each and everyone of you for your comments and info.  I very much appreciate it.  I believe this exercise was the best way for me to figure out if my goal weight needed to be adjusted or if it was realistic.

I have provided all of the stats below, so that if any of you want to use the info to figure out something for yourself, they are there for you to see..

I was trying to figure out what weight I want to be aiming for considering my:
-  age      -  44 yrs
-  height  -     6 ft

BMI Info:
Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9

Notes:
-     I personally did not do this surgery to be under or overweight.  For me personally I know I want to be in the normal range...  (That is my decision only, not anything I expect of anyone else...)
-     So if I take the first 10 people with a normal BMI, the average BMI for those 10 people is:  20.59 which for my 6 foot frame translates to 152 lbs.
-     If I average out the first 15 people (with a normal BMI) the BMI would be 20.95, which is 154 lbs.
-     If I average out the 10 people that are the closest height to mine, within the normal BMI range, I compute a BMI of 22.2  and the weight would be 162 lbs
-     If I average the lowest BMI's that are the closest to my age, the BMI would be 22,  and the weight would be 162 lbs
-     So...If I take the 4 averaged BMI's from above 20.59+20.95+22.2+22.= 85.74/4= 21.4
-     AND, if I take the 4 averaged weights from above 152+154+162+162= 630/4= 157.5 lbs
-    MY NEW GOAL IS 155 LBS (Was 140 lbs, then raised to 150 lbs...)
-     Anything below that will be gravy... if my body will go lower great, if not, I will be happy here...

Hugs,  Cindy

I'm Lois and it looks like I top out your chart at 6'2" tall and 170. My BMI is 21.8 and I'm 43 years old. I had the VBG 5 1/2 years ago!  Hooray for tall women!  I love my 38" inseam!

Wow Lois,

I just checked out your profile.  Incredible job!!

Your stomach after your Belt-Lipectomy is simply gorgeous!  Perfect!  Do you mind telling me how much that costs?  Did you go to Mexico for it?  Or get it done there?  Did you need anything else done?

I look forward to your reply...  I LOVE that you, even though you are nice and tall, have a nice low BMI, I am not the only one that wants to be nice a slim...

You look great and should be so very proud of yourself.  Thanks for posting your stats!

Cindy

p.s.  BTW, I weighed this morning and I weigh 170.4, which just about 60 lbs in 5 months.  Only 15 lbs to goal.  Yipee...  I LOVE my Sleeve!!

Hi Cindy, Actually, my same doctor that did the VBG did my belt lipectomy. As for the cost, I really don't know what it would have been. You see, My doctor is a true pioneer in lap proceedures, and is also someone who likes to "test the waters", if you will.  I had my surgery done at a Day Surgery place. I was in at 7am and walked out under my own powers at 4:30pm!  It was 4-1/2 hours of surgery, and he repaired 2 hernias I didn't know I had, as well as gave me a cute little inny belly button! Since he could find nowhere in the world that this had ever been accomplished, I only had to pay for the annesthesia and day surgery place.  If I recall correctly, it would normally be about $18,000 with 2 days minimum hospital stay.  I never took a pain pill, had 2 drains that were easy to care for, and felt fantastic the entire time!  I haven't had any other work done, but if he offers to do thighs for free, I'm jumping on that train! I only had 5lbs of skin removed, but the experience was awesome. I also like having the VBG because I don't reallyhave to work hard at maintaining my weight now. I really need to watch that I don't get too low. I was at 158 once, and it was too light for me. I'm perfectly happy how I am!
