Hi everyone! My name is Fran. I am 5' 7" weighing 263 pounds which gives me a BMI of 41.2. Am I low enough for a lightweight? I am pre-op. I will have my DS on October 12th of this year. Talk about scared and excited rolled up into one.

You are a lightweight. (Although, I doubt you feel like one.) Good luck with your surgery. I hope you have an unevetful surgery and recovery.

Scared and excited rolled up into one. Yeah, that's perfectly normal.

Welcome.

Welcome to the lightweight board. I'm 5'7" too! Good luck with the DS. There are lightweights here who can help you with any questions you have about the DS.
