  1. Katwoman, Did your BMI go below 35 at any time during the 5 yr history?

    More 5 year history headaches!

    I finally get a record of my weight for 2006 and my BMI was 34. Even though it was 35 or greater for the the following years, the Dr's office says I may not be approved . I have not had my height offically taken since 1990 so I'm hoping that I can ask them to officially check my height and that I've shrunk with age age and they will update my records and that will fix the problem. Would love some feedback. Thanks

    Medical Records Headache

    My PCP from another state has been really slow in sending my medical records for 2006 (the only year missing from 5yr history and Its been 6week since my second request for my records.). So I requsted records from an ER visit I had that year for heart palpitations and the Surgeons office got them already But the dag blasted ER failed to record my weight for that visit! How do I find out what the hold up is with the PCP if all they do is refer me to the medical records voice mail. I only have 3 more months to go before we submit to insurance and this is the only hold up!

    "You weren't that big?!?!"

    Too Funny! I am 5'4" 222lbs and I too carry it well but people are very quick to tell me how much weigh I'm gaining(or losing) but the second I mention that I'm getting lap band, they start telling me how big I'm not. But they are not the ones on this roller coaster nor are they going to suffer the diabetes, hypertention and kidney disease for me if I don't get this weight down and keep it down. I'm 44 years old and can't take anymore chances on gaining and losing weight when this opportunity is waiting!

    Breaking up with Bread

    I am at the 3 month mark myself and the first month I was eating more than ever, even bread that I had cut back on years ago! After reading all the posts it seem normal. Fortunately I've cut back.
  8. I just had my 3rd of the 6 visits to my doctor. I hope my approval is just as fast. I have BC/BS of Alabama
