Peeille reacted to KCgirl061 in When does my bmi have to be 40?Mine had to be 40 at my first consultation with the PCP. I was the same as you, my weight fluctuated depending on how much water I was retaining at the time. It made me nervous that I would be 39.8 at that appointment and not qualify. So the days before the appointment I ate high sodium meals and really binged. I also wore a pair of boot cut jeans with 5 pound ankle weights on. Got my BMI up to 41.1 on that first appointment.

Peeille reacted to GradyCat in When does my bmi have to be 40?My BMI was 40 when I first met with the surgeon, but 38 when I had the surgery, but on official paperwork when my surgeon weighed me and submitted for insurance approval I was 40 BMI.
