The NIH standards are the BMI of 40 or greater or a BMI of 35 with comorbidities, which I definitely have. My PCP sent a letter with the basic overweight with health issues related and listed my medications which I take 3 dfor the diabetes, 2 for hypertension, and I for fluid retention, and a cholesteral lower med. If I don't meet the standards I don't know what does!
I really appreciate all of you fellow banders and soon to be banders, you help keep up my spirits!
Thanks,
