...mi BMI es 64.44, mi estatura 150 cms y peso 145. Y en base a eso saber si soy considerada obesa o solo overweight.

Si usted hace que un BMI sobre 35 entonces usted califique para la cirugia porque le consideran morbidamente obeso.

Soy si media Latina

La mayoria de los seguros requieren que usted sea 35BMI excesivo. En un BMI bajo de 35 usted puede ser requerido tener co-morbosidades tales como diabetes, Tension arterial Alta, etc. Un BMI de 44 es generalmente una buena base para comenzar donde los seguros pagaran.

Si usted es paga del uno mismo entonces usted puede ser tan bajo como 35BMI, usted puede tener la cirugia y calificaria facilmente.

English Translation in case my Spanish is off:

Most insurances require that you be over 35BMI. At a low BMI of 35 you may be required to have co-morbidities such as Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, etc. A BMI of 44 is usually a good base to start where insurances will pay.

If you are self pay then you can be as low as 35BMI, you can have the surgery and would easily qualify.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
