5 years of weight history

So, I had my obgyn appt earlier this week, and had him provide me with the last 5 years of weight history. It didn't start out too bad. BMI was about 33 about 5 years ago, and went up every single year after that. oh! And they have my height incorrect on my records. They have my height were it was at in my 20's. I am in my 50's and gravity has shrunk me bit in height. I have high hopes I can explain the discrepancy to the bariatric hospital and insurance co, so they understand. My PCP measured my height when i began my 6 month supervised diet 7 months ago, and I was 5'6" not 5'8". I had the OBGYN office correct this years, which has my BMI correct, but they can't go back and correct previous years. What do you think? They should understand right? I didn't shrink overnight.

@ Thank you. That eases my mind quite a bit. I worry so much that somehow I will be denied. I don't know why I worry so much. I'm clearly a candidate. BMI proves that. I am otherwise healthy, aside from sleep apnea, which is controlled now via c-pap. Plus I've had a weight problem all my life, and been dieting every day of my life for about 45 years. I think that should cinch it. lol Thanks again! Happy Holidays! Wish me luck. I'm calling to get all this started on January 2nd!
