I had the same problem. I didn't feel that I was heavy enough to be eligible for the surgery. At 258 lbs at 5'9", I was able to hide my weight very well. I dress my fat to my advantage! LOL. I just had my last physician supervised visit, and I am just waiting to be scheduled for surgery. It has been a long road, and at times I've been frustrated and felt like it was never going to happen. It is a good time to think about what exactly it is you hope to achieve after your surgery.
