Val,

I know the feeling all to well. Size 10 and sitting at overweight/obese (depends on the weight each day, lol), I laugh so hard at the BMI scale. Wait and Im nearly 5'11" with that size 10. Damn I'm still obese....I love being a freak of nature, LOL.

Ive had similar thoughts - I also often wonder if patients of particular surgeons have a pattern of similar complications? Hmm.

I've often wondered that too, but that's a topic I'm not touching with a ten foot pole!!

I'm sorry I'm stupid

. Are you asking if the surgeon's goal was normal bmi or if we reached normal bmi?

Either way,

With a starting BMI of 74, I'd hazard a guess that it's not all that uancommon, eh?
