Questions about the DS....

[Guest guest]

Hi all, I have a question...

I know that the DS is recommended for people with a

BMI over 50. I'm

wondering if anyone here has had the DS and lost 200

pounds or more. I

guess what I'm really wondering is - has anyone here

gone from the 50-60-70

range BMI to a normal BMI? I'd love to know people's experiences with this.

Ideally, I should weigh between 110 and 140 - that

would mean that I have to

lose over 200 pounds. Is this possible?

I know that some people have the

surgery and go from being super M.O. to simply obese

- is that what's

expected if your BMI is over a particular level? Thanks for any insight,

experience, etc., you can share on this!
