Hi Everyone.... This is my first post here. I am going to my first weightloss seminar on May 5th and have my first appointment with a doctor on May 16th. I should weigh about 150 pounds and I weight 243 right now. I have tried everything. I am hoping I am accepted as a candidate. I have a lot of knee and back pain and my glucose is borderline. My blood pressure is normal. My weight has caused me a great amount of depression but I don't know if that makes me a candidate. I take medication for depression, my thryroid which is slow, and a prescription water pill for swelling. If anyone has any advice or input for me I would greatly appreciate it.

If your BMI is 40 or more, then you are a candidate under most insurance plans. No co-morbidities are required.

My BMI is probably about 37. I think I will probably have to have co-morbidity. I will have to see how my consultation goes. Thanks for responding.
