For those of you who maintained a "normal weight/BMI" prior to WLS.
Please answer the question as honestly as possible...who voted which way is not disclosed.

If we were able to maintain a normal weight/bmi, then we wouldn't have gotten the surgery??????

What I meant was...for those who were able to maintain a NORMAL BMI weight at some point in their lives prior to WLS...a time frame of 1-5 years.
