difa 114 Posted December 2, 2011 So I am 5 foot 9 (or 9.5) and I weigh around 275 (I'm 35) and I've recently found out I have severe sleep apnea. November was my first of six visits with my PCP. I've signed up to go to a seminar in December and I'm hoping by the middle of summer of 2012 I'll have the lap band. Are there many out on the message board around my age with a BMI of 40? My ideal weight is around 160-170. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
