  1. Hello. I am new to this site. I am 50 yrs old and want to get the sleeve. However, my BMI is not quiet high enough to qualify and I do not have any major health issues. I have been on the diet roller coaster since junior high school and have tried pretty much every diet there is and I need HELP! My knees and back are killing me. But I don't think that will be enough for my PCP to give me a referral. I need 25 more lbs to reach a 40 BMI. I have a first appt with my PCP in two weeks and I'm afraid she will not be supportive. Any suggestions or tips that may help sway her decision? Thanks,

      Any chance that having the surgery in MX is an option? My BMI was a 33, and even though I was pre-diabetic that was not enough for my insurance to approve me, so I opted for self-pay in Mexico.
