Anxious to get started

Hi! I'm scheduled to see my primary physician on Friday to get this party started. Since I have no other comorbidities as I understand them, I've been actively trying to gain the last 10 lbs :) to achieve the 40.0 BMI insurance requires. (Not so tough with the holidays, I assure you!) Is that twisted or what???

    chica,

    I have seriously thought of trying to gain also my BMI is 38 just shy of the 40. 14 Luckily I flunked the sleep apnea testing 15 (is that not sick) I do have a

    health issue along with Thyroid, I do not know if that is enough for bc/bs or how long it will take for approval. If all else fails I will be gaining along with you sweetie.
