I'm 29, 190 lbs 5 foot 5. I live in Virginia. My bmi is 32 and I can't find out anywhere where I can get any help with finding lapband procedures for me. Someone please help. I am normal with asthma. I can't breathe bc of my weight. I can't run. But I'm not prediabetic. Please help me!

@@ptownkween - You might find that for most doctors and insurance companies, a BMI of only 32 isn't high enough to qualify for weight loss surgery. If you don't have any other comorbidities other than asthma, it will be especially hard to find someone since asthma isn't generally considered a side effect of obesity. There are other more effective treatments for asthma. Have you talked to an allergist?

@@ptownkween - or you could go to Mexico where 30 is more like their limit. That's what I did with a lower BMI. Very happy. A lot of less overweight people use that option.
