Hi Mary, Welcome to the board. I started out with a bmi of 62. I wish you lots of luck on your journey. Take care, Diana 379/176/?

Hi Diana, Thank you for all your well wishes. So far I could use the luck--I'm experiencing some insurance "glitches". Mary

WELCOME Mary, I'm 5'4 also and have a BMI currently of 49.7 but it jumps around. I keep losing and gaining the same 2-4 lbs. Hope you enjoy the board. Jamie

Hi Jamie, It looks like you have been through a long waiting process--I read your profile. Do you know when you will be having your surgery? Mary
