Facility deducting 2 pounds for clothing??



Recommended Posts

I am right there on the border of 40 bmi. The place where I just went has said that they deduct 2 lbs for clothing when you weigh in. This would bring my BMI to 39.8 (no comorbidities) and I am wondering if anyone ever heard of this???? Is this typical/normal??

Call up and tell them you werent feeling well this morning, and you didnt have anything to eat or drink today or last night and that you dont think that weight accurately represents your true weight and you would like to weigh yourself again now that you ate and feel better. They SHOULD let you come back in and reweigh yourself.

Ive personally seen this occur before

Yes. I need to go in for the next two.months now, and see the NUT again. They want to submit when they can submit 3 months of consistent 40+BMI and a weigh in with the NUT that also shows 40+.
Ugh.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
