I'm considered morbidly obese. I am also borderline diabetic and high BP. I'm having a Sleeve Gastrectomy on September 23rd. to loose over 100 lbs. My doctor says my health problems will go away once the weight has come off. My daughter has a BMI of 52 and she's just starting the process of seeing a nutritionist and psychologist as part of an adult weight management program. It looks like you could stand to gain a few pounds but then what do I know.
