MLBL

I have sleep apnea, two pinched nerves in my back, and had my gallbladder out two years ago. I also need a breast reduction that I cannot get because my BMI would have to be less than 30. As it is, my BMI is 37.5 If the only weight that counts for qualification is the first weight that will be great. My orientation is in two weeks so then I can ask about that. I know the weight list is that long because I am having it done at a military facility and other who have had it done there have waited that long.

I just make the BMI requirement for the Lap Band. I really do need it, I have been living with weight issues for too long. However, the wait for the surgery is 9-12 months. If I lost even 15 lbs I might not qualify anymore. Do I intentionally not lose weight this year? That feels so fundamentally wrong. Also, I really don't want to spend another year this big. Ont he other hand if I lost some weight I know it will come back sooner or later because it always does and I will regret missing the opportunity to have the Lap Band. What to do?:confused:

I have an orientation appointment in a few weeks. I have to admit I am a bit disappointed to learn there is nearly a year long wait :biggrin:
