We're at fort riley! I'm trying still!!!

I'M MAD. I guess I had an approval sitting there for a MONTH before I got the letter!! So hopefully I get approved for surgery

Every time I think of quitting smoking i have a panic attack and have to rush to have a smoke.

I have scolosis too but I didn't know that counted... My dr won't reccomend it till I've quit smoking for a month!! GRRRRR!

Oh, also. I was talking to my family and my great grandma has HBP, my grandma has high colestoral and my mom has HBP and sleep apnea. My mom told me that my dads whole family is obese and all have issues w/ HBP and diabetes.

Well, I had my psyche appointment today and he said that we'll have 2 more for him to finish writing up his exam in the questions he has to ask but he said I am mentally stable and doing it for the right reasons. He did say that I would have to quit smoking for him to give the okay, and if I could do that then he would give me the go ahead. I don't want to quit.. But and I know I could lie my way out of that one.. But it is something I need to do for my health so I will quit cold turkey as soon as I'm done w/ what I have now and I won't buy anymore smokes. So... I guess I should start smoking less so as soon as I'm done it'll be easier. The earliest he could get me in for my next appt was NEXT friday so almost 2wks away! I'll be calling EVERY morning to see if I can get one in earlier. I have my nut. appt this friday and then my DR said after I'm done w/ the shrink and nut. appts then she'll give me the referal! I'm somewhat hoping I gain a few lbs before I go in for my official weigh in. I HOPE and pray they let me get the surgery. He didn't believe me when I said I did my research.. And I told him flat out, I had a c-section to have my son.. This will be a cake walk!!! (the surgery anyway)

My mom has weight related sleep apnia.. would that work? And I think she has HIGH blood pressue.

No, I don't. But if you're twice your ideal weight then they'll do it. It's either 100 and comorbid or 200% your weight. I'm 240sh and my "ideal" weight per my DR is 125.. So I need to be 250

Weights or huge HUGE Huge meal and weigh again?

I have craft weights I was thinking of putting in my bra. I just don't want to get my husband in trouble for doing it. (We're military..) I could say I'm 5'1 but i don't know how much shorter I could say.

I'd appeal!!! Don't give up!!

This! I can't wait till I'm classified as obese and overweight! lol

Appeal appeal appeal!

Sigh, Just found out I'm 13lbs under my 200%. :scared2: Dunno what to do.
