NOTE: At my 'beginning' weight, my BMI fell into the 'morbidly obese' category. By 6 months post-op, my BMI was in the 'overweight' category! If I reach my goal of 160, my BMI will fall in the 'normal' category!
What the heck IS a "BMI" you are wondering?
BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It is a measure that determines how overweight a person is. People with a BMI over 40 may qualify for bariatric surgery. People who have a BMI of 35-40 may still qualify, if they have co-morbid conditions like sleep apnea, diabetes, etc.
