:help: :help: :help: My first step and the door was shut in my face!!!!!! Couldnt even get pass the NP. She told me that the doctor wouldnt even consider doing the surgery on me because of my BMI. It was 34.9. When I made the appointment three weeks ago I weighed 216lbs and today I was 207lbs. Im so depressed!!!!!!! I've been stressing the past few weeks over my ex and then today was told no surgery. Just listening to all the stories gave me hope. There is no way I could be self pay. I'm already in debt and have 3 small kids. Im really feeling sorry for my self now.

Im scheduled to see Dr. Peters on Friday for an consultation. Has anyone been to him before or know of anyone that has?

Oh okay. Yes, I do have co-morbidities, high blood pressure, back pain, and I had bilateral hip replacement 3 years ago due to bad joints. With the new hips Im supposed to weigh between 145 and 160 for them to last more than ten years.
