    Tanning?

    No tanning for me! I had had too many basal cell and squamous cells removed. I currently have a bald spot from one on my head.... NO fun! I always wear sun screen and a hat even in winter! I am very pale and people will just have to live with it!

    One Month Since My Surgery

    Do I Qualify? 5'2" And 195 Pounds

    With co-morbity factors like diabetes, High blood pressure, PCOS you may qualify depending on your insurance. The lowest Is generally BMI of 35 and yours is 35.7. On the other hand, there are many who had the surgery with lower BMIs. Talk to your GP and see if he thinks you would benefit.
