I've heard/read this term a few times in relation to WLS. 

Who is considered a "lightweight" is it below a certain weight or BMI?

I have heard anyone under a starting weight of 300 lbs. Not sure of the validity of that statement :)

Agreed depending on your height and all, but I was considered light weight because I started at 255 lbs, but i wouldn't have considered myself light weight lol.

I have shamefully moved from the light weight to heavy weight during my time in waiting...
