NSV - Drivers License weight



Recommended Posts

I checked my drivers license weight and I am now only 4 lbs heavier than what it says! I think this kind of qualifies as a "non-scale victory". ;)

How does everyone else stack up to their drivers license?

I said 170lbs on my license. I was probably easily 200lbs+ Today I'm wayyy under that weight. Exciting!

Mine says 260 and at the time I think I was at about 300. Now I'm 225. I want a new picture on my license. Doesn't look like me anymore.

Mine said 260 when I was 290. Now I'm 30 lbs under it-- whee!

I have no intention of changing it for a while though. Ugh, the DMV lines around here mean I'll just live with it.

Florida doesn't have a weight section. But, I agree that I need my drivers license changed as it doen't look a bit like me. Also, my Visa has my picture and it looks like someone else entirely. I had glasses( since then had laser surgery), lost about 100 lbs, and cut my hair. I have had store clerks do a double take on both the Visa and drivers license. Karen (kll724)

That is why I love PA! There is no weight on our drivers licenses. ;)

I was actually honest about my weight on my DL this time around, as I have no intention of ever being that heavy again. Haven't had surgery yet, but can't wait until the day I have to get a new one for just that reason!

Congratulations! They don't ask for weight on our driver's license. Makes sense since everybody lies anyway. Kind of like putting your eye and hair color. It's so easy to change both, why bother?

Wow I've actuaLly never heard of weight being listed on a DL. What states ask for this (because I want to make sure I never move to any of them lol)?

Wow. I am so thankful that I don't have to put my weight on my driver's license LOL.

That would be so embarassing.

I'm in Washington state, but when I lived in California they had weight listed on their license too.

I had to get mine out and look at it. It says 170 lbs from 2 years ago (when I was probably 270 at the time). The people that work at the BMV must roll their eyes and laugh every day at their job looking at those lies. Now I'm around 146-147 with 2 years to go before renewal. Boy do I need a new picture!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
