fatiniowa

For Americans that is 5'8 213 and a 32 BMI. In the US it seems you need to be 35+ and sick of a fat related illness or 40+. I have heard of people in the 30 to 35 range getting it done in Mexico.

My plan is not to tell anyone. I hope to lose only about 50 pounds and then say to people I have stopped porking out so much and been working out a bit. My aunt lost like over 100 pounds, we used to call her miss piggy behind her back and one christmas she was normal weight with loose skin. no one had the balls to ask her but people did judge her behind her back. I just want people to think I am strong on my own and not to judge me. I don't even want to tell my husband, although I am sure he will find out, I just want to have surgery done before he knows so he can't stop me. I just hope insurance approves it.

No scale in the office, but the dr was like 80 and needed a walker to get around. He said he wanted to make sure that I cound mentally handle this surgery. He also said those that can handle it are those that follow the doctor directions and have a good grasp on life. He said that those that are mentally suited for surgery don't need it and should diet instead, he kept talking me out of doing it. I go back for results next week. I sorta think he will say I'm ok, otherwise he would have been like I'm going to say that you're a bad candidate or something rather than try to tell me I shouldn't.

Do they weigh you at the Psychological Evaluation? Mine is Monday and been sick the last few days and have fallen below 35 BMI
