When I first went to the surgeon my BMI was 33.6.And that was wearing extra clothing to make my weight higher!! But.... I was terminally ill from my co-morbidities. My surgeon didn't even mention my weight. 3 Months before that, I weighed 40# more. But due to a hospital stay for 3 weeks on clear liquids, and hyper-alimentation, the weight fell off. I was so scared that I was loosing my WLS criteria, But, I'm almost 1 year post-op now. With a BMI of 19. And I am cured of the co-morbidities that were stealing my life from me. Good luck to who ever you asked that question for, and Good luck to you on your upcoming surgery --
