    So I called the center today only to find out I am not qualified because at my initial consult I weighed 214 and at 63 inches my BMI was 38...I do not have any comorbidities...what to do I am so frustrated...I have literally had weight issues my entire adult life...I'm devastated. Can I go back and weight with weights in my pockets LOL!

    Good morning I am 43 and I weigh 206 and I am 5'3 my BMI is in the neighborhood of 38 (or it was) at my consult appointment. I do not currently have any health issues that result from obesity so I am hoping my insurance provider BCBS Anthem will still approve me for surgery. I have always been overweight but it got out of control while pregnant with my 1st child. I have tried various diets over the years but I have to admit I'm really not disciplined (I am an emotional eater) and some days I eat nothing. My family physician has prescribes phentermine many times and I have lost weight but not an amount that mattered and then I always gain it back. I hope I'll get approved...any thoughts?
