I have noticed a lot of people wanting to know other people's experiences with a weight close to their own. But since weight is subjective I wanted to know what some of your experiences are/were with a BMI over 50. My BMI is 51.3 and I am afraid of losing too much weight before my ins. approves my sx. They require a BMI over 50 for the sleeve. I feel like if I drop below 50 they will deny me.

Sounds like a plan. Don't lose anymore weight until you are approved. Then you can go gang-busters!! Good Luck.

That is unfortunate. I think my own only must be 40.

I have lost 4 pounds but just about 6 more pounds would put me just under 50. I hate going to my NUT appointment with such a small change in my weight, it makes me feel bad, like she probably thinks I am not listening to her or following her advice.

It will come later I guess, like Amazon13 said, after you won't need worry and can go gang busters to lose wieght.

hey grrwuff,

Cheer up, it seems to be just another waiting game. Soon the time will allow you to move forward. Maybe just tell the NUT what your doing, they may have an opinion but if its necessary to keep the weight its also your choice. You will be able to hear what the NUT says about it though. Eat healthy, just not to little.

Thanks, I have been trying to eat better but also not limiting a lot. I did tell the NUT that I was afraid of being denied. She said I have a few pounds to play with and depends on who at the ins. co. reviews my case.

I hate to say it but its a good thing that you continue to get as many weights recorded as you might at this weight before they see it to review. hmmm, don't know what else to think but I sympathize with you.
