I went to see the doc in Pensacola yesterday, and he told me, if you were my daughter, I would say for your age, weight, and height, the lapband is what I would do for you, however, your bmi is at 38.1 and as far as we know (I havent had a sleep study done yet) you have no complications. Unfortunatly you are in limbo. :cry (the nurse measured my height at 5'7" with my same weight- which is why I came out as a higher bmi than my signature)

The only option left to me is, belive it or not, GAINING weight! Which of course he did not reccomend, but seriously, I want and need this done so how else do I do it? Is gaining the extra few pounds I need to get them to agree that bad an idea? I will obvioulsy loose it in the pre-op diet they put you on. I could even start it a day or two early to help shed those extra pounds I had to put on to get them to agree.

Financing and going to mexico, there is simply no way... Unfortunatly this is one of those times I hate being a military spouse. Any other day of the week I will wave my flag, but right now, I am a little to depressed.

I'd love to hear what some of you have to say about this. What are your ideas? :help:

Well I wouldnt think they would inspect me at all to be honest... Usually I just go in and sit and chat with him.. I would be a little nervous of a weighted bra as I am quite busty (38DD) and If they decided to run their little stethescope over me for whatever reason I would think they would be more apt to find that than some ankle weights that I can slip off and toss into an extra big purse I happen to take along that day... Conveinently hidden under some cute really flare leg jeans..... Ya know?

I dunno. I am gonna salt everything... I am not one for salt and pepper on everything but I am now! I cant belive I ate so much today :girl_hug: I feel like a big ole BOAT. Blech
