Guest guest Posted September 23, 2000 Report Share Posted September 23, 2000 Dear Group, Okay, I have to admit that some recent post about BMI's at 40 being low for this surgery is causing me to " wig out. " First, I want to say that everyone has been very supportive towards my wanting to get this surgery even though my bmi is 35-36. So here is my question. Does anyone know of anyone who has gotten the DS with a BMI of 35-36? I have an appointment with Dr. Gagner on October 11 and I am so afraid that he will say " no way. " I can demonstrated that I have not been able to maintain a lower weight even with many tries--five medical some solo. I am just curious--what is the lowest bmi of someone doing this surgery? If the Dr. recommends doing the other types of surgery, (I know they have been done with people with my bmi) I am going to say no thank you. Yes, I actually have been trying--not to actually eat more--but lets say--not worry about what I eat. But the worse case for me is to gain more weight and still be told--no way. I rarely loose--once I gain. Okay, I am going to try to be calm. Thanks. DBBR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
