  1. I am so pissed! I finally went in today for my initial visit and the doctors told me that I don't weigh enough! I am so sick of this! I really need to have my surgery before July so that I won't have to pay a deductible of $600! I know this sounds stupid, but is it possible to gain 30lbs in about a week or two weeks at the most? The doctors kept saying that they weren't telling me to go out and gain weight and that if I still wanted to have the surgery in the future to come back if my weight changes. He also said that if my weight was where it needed to be today that they could have had me schedule for surgery in the next couple of weeks! I just wonder, just how much weight can I gain in one week. My BMI is at 35, he said that it needed to be at 40. I don't really understand how they calculate BMI, but this is so depressing! What can I do guys to gain about 30lbs in the next week or so? Or should I just give up on trying to have this surgery submitted to my insurance company by July?
