Before my RNY, I was considered "super." I was 407 lbs. with a BMI of about 60. My doctor said anything 50+ on the BMI charts was considered "super obese," because that would mean you were closer to 200 lbs. overweight, rather than the 100 lbs. that would normally place one in the "morbidly obese" category. Hope the info. helps!
