I am in my 2month of supervised diet and I has so many questions. I still have a lot. I do know from talking to my pt advocate at the surgeons office that they will not approve any bmi under 35 even with the co morbities. Do you have documented weight history for the last 2 years? 2014 2015. They need those to confirm that you have been over your bmi. How tall are you? What state are you in? I am in Texas.
I'm 5'11 and 246 I need to be 255 to just be at 35.6 and yes I have 3 years of documented history from dr and he said that he would do whatever he could to get me to have it.

Okay so I went to the dr Wednesday dec 6th I wrote him a letter with everything that I have tryed and diets, apps ,and gyms. I put skinny pictures of me and now weight pics of me. He knows I have tryed everything under the sun and he thinks it's time, he told me to go to a seminar which I just enrolled and it's dec 15th in Knoxville TN and then after that one see him and he will do the referral letter to the surgeon and they will make apt for me. I'm 5'11 and weight 246 my bmi is 34.5 I know I have to be 35 and 1 or more health issues I have asthma, siatic nerve issues in back and knee problems but I heard that wasn't going to count my dr said that he can make it happen and put i have more issues if I really want this done which is shocking!! So!! I'm going to have to gain about 10 lbs to get my bmi to 35 but scaried to death he can't make it look good on paper for health issues or I could gain another 47 lbs and be at 40 bmi and not have to have any health issues . What do you all think and any advice is greatly appreciated!! I have blue cross blue shield federal also.
