Hi all,I am stuck in the middle of a quandry. I am self-pay. I have my consult on March 26 with the surgeon. I've had my psych eval already. I would expect my doctor to schedule surgery at that time. I'm a lightweight and concerned that he might not think I qualify. MY BMI is 38 with no comorbidities. My psych gave me some great ideas on how to get ready for surgery, but I'm afraid they will make me lose weight. I would love to lose weight, but I don't want to NOT qualify for surgery because of it. Any words of advice?
