BigDreamer2010

hey don't be upset, the same thing happened to me. My BMI was 37 when I started this process and I just got approved on Wednesday. Look if you are 8lbs away just gain the 8 lbs and then go back to the doctor and weigh yourself again. I knew someone that was a few lbs away and they went to the store and bought some ankle weights and then wore pants and the ankle weights when they went to weight in and the bmi is calculated from the weight that appears on the scale. So if you want to get approved maybe wait a little while and do the same thing get ankle weights like 10 lb ones and wear pants and well go for it and then have them submit the paperwork. GOOD LUCK!!:redface:
