That's crazy. I noticed that too. I'm thinking at 185 lbs why did them put themselves through all that with the surgery? Wouldn't Weigh****chers or Jenny Craig be easier? Maybe they had some sort of health problem/s that they had to get the weight off fast. Who knows. But it just seems weird to me that anyone would do the risk of surgery when they only have 30 to 40 lbs to lose.

My bmi was 61 when I first met with the surgeon. My preop weight was 453 ad I lost 27 lbs on my preop diet....most of which was swelling and water weight. My VSG surgery was exactly one month ago and I have lost over 30 lbs since then. I know I am just beginning, but I am encouraged every day just by how I feel and seeing the others on here who have succeeded in losing a lot.
It has been a struggle for me to read posts from those that have the surgery so they can lose less than 100 lbs. some need only to lose 60, and yes, one even had to GAIN weight to qualify for surgery. This just astounds me and makes me wonder about the ethics of surgeons who will perform a life altering surgery like this on someone with a much smaller amount to lose. Ive always considered WLS drastic, and a last resort kind of thing. Maybe Im looking at that in the wrong way and others can shed some light on the motivation behind the decision. I just know from my own experiences dieting that I would never consider at those lower weights. I wish everyone the best on their journey, just confused about the necessity.
Regina. Ready to live again.
