I've only been on the VSG forum. I keep seeing this forum referenced. What makes you a lightweight. I was 222 (5'2") at the time of my surgery. Am I a "lightweight"?

Yep, you are. Around 35-40 BMI, around 100lbs to lose, and you are a lightweight. We all think that is pretty funny cause we never thought of ourselves as light weights but we do have a little different issues than our heavier friends.

Stick around, read, see if you like us. If so, the numbers aren't very important.

Thanks for asking what is a lightweigh. I just found this and was wondering about lightweight. Never thought of myself being a lightweight especially since I feel so heavy. I am 5'1" and small bones. I will be having RNY on 4/9 and its coming up fast. Start my liquids on Monday. Happy Easter! !
