Calculating BMI when you have a half size



Recommended Posts

So I am 5 ft 4 and a half inches.

All of the calculators I can find only do whole inches.

Do I round up to 5 ft 5?

Do I round down to 5 ft 4??

depends! if you are trying to get insurance to pay for something...round down. If is for your own interest, round up...your bmi would be lower :)

Weight in pounds times 703;

then divide this by height squared.

238 x 703 = 167314

64.5 x 64.5 = 4160.25

167314 / 4160.25 = 40.217294633...

Your BMI is 40.22

If I were 5' 6" I'd be NORMAL BMI! Think at 46 I can grow an inch and a half? 5 more pounds, 5 more pounds.....he he he he he!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
