Oh cool. I had to actually get records from my obgyn as well because my heaviest weight of 2011 from my PCP was barely 200. Luckily I had gone to my obgyn and had the 216. I just bounced around a lot. Good luck to u and keep me posted

Its funny you should say that because my dietician measured me as a 1/2 in shorter and I tried to correct her and she pretty much gave me a wink like 'no no, its ok, we'll just leave it there'. I love her.

I'm 5'7" too and freaked out when my surgeon's office measured me at 5'8"! I had shoes on and immediately declared that was not my correct height. :) Still came up at 40 bmi...whew!

Ok' date=' I have BCBS Federal so it's really a good insurance to have. It requires 3 months diet with NUT BMI with 35-40 with comorbidities or BMI over 40. My BMI is over 40 and I have a month and a half to go on the NUT thing. My problem is they also have to submit a two year history from my regular doctor showing a BMI OVER 40 I'm one of those people who bounce all over the place and lose and gain weight constantly. Last December I was 180 now I'm 250. I don't know if I was over 40 during the last two years when I went to doctor. I am waiting on my records from my PCP. Anyone else experience this? Trouble with the two year history? How strict is the insurance company?[/quote']

Hey Jessica BCBS is wonderful!!! I have BCBS Federal and I had to go through the Nut visits , 2 year history and I wasn't over 40 BMI during those 2 years... I am a revision and my weight was up and down for 2 years....I went to my PCP at least once per year and that's what they are looking for- how much did you weigh? Well after my last NUT visit my paper work was turned in on a Wednesday and I received the call that I was approved on Friday. They are not strict at all.

That's funny...I thought it was just me, but it makes complete sense that they *might* try that to get a higher BMI. I'm not accusing anyone, but I'm 5'10 1/2" and they had me at 5' 9" I said I was sure I was taller than that and it was as if I'd never said anything! wow...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
