I've met him once when I did my EGD test. I'm scheduled to get sleeved by him on Sept 26. Please any feed back regarding this doctor would be great. Thank you

Hi, My BMI is 37.5 was approved by my insurance. I think if your BMI is 40, it should be easier for you as you don't have the requirement of co morbidity. I also think the definition below is standard with all insurance. My insurance is GEHA. Hope this helps and good luck.
"Morbid obesity is diagnosed by determining Body Mass Index (BMI). BMI is defined by the ratio of an individual’s height to his or her weight. Normal BMI ranges from 20-25. See BMI on back panel. An individual is considered morbidly obese if he or she is 100 pounds over his/her ideal body weight, has a BMI of 40 or more, or 35 or more and experiencing obesity-related health conditions, such as high blood pressure or diabetes."

Thank you! This is very inspiring. I'm counting down...my date is Sept 26. Reading stuff like this gets me past the fear of the surgery itself and off course the lifestyle change. God bless! 30 days more and my life will start anew, hopefully like all the others in this forum...happier and healthy life!

Yup it's like when one hears a song and that song repeats over and over in your head! All I hear I in my head is "I can't wait" over and over and over and over! Even when I see my reflection at a window...that inner voice sounds! It's crazy, but good crazy...Sept 26...can't wait!!!! LOL
