Most likely June

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!

Wow...I honestly didn't even think of it like that...I was really just trying to improve my mood with something silly. Thank you though.

Thanks guys...I hate how overweight I am and it has always been this way

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?
