Title: Light weight and LL?
Post by: portnoy on February 13, 2023, 12:00:58 PM

Hi,

I was am considering LL, but am quite underweight. I wonder if that would rule out the surgery for me or if anyone has done the surgery being quite light.

I'm about 50kg, 169cm, male, early 20s.

No I was a similar bmi. It’s helpful in some regards but a few months in when you lost even more weight it got a bit annoying tbh.

In Athens, I've seen some very slim patients and frankly they all did great

One guy was extremely extremely slim and the nurses/PT's were worried, but nothing came of it and he did great
