Hi Annie! I'm fairly new too. I don't even get to meet with the surgeon until March 6th :-( Sad to say....I was a skinny little kid but after 2 wonderful kids and time I ended up over 100# more than I should be. Welcome and keep in touch with us all. It seems like a very welcoming bunch of folks :-)

My journey hit a roadblock..my primary care doctor put down the wrong height for me so my BMI wasn't high enough & she also didn't write down any comorbidities for me..So now I have To go back & have her measure my height. & Hopefully she will get it right this time!! Ugh!

[Deenurse 9]

Oh that stinks!!! Maybe you could write it all down for the doc....lol. Good luck :-)

I went back to my primary. Dctr today & instead of my height being 5'4" it's 5'2" so now the Bariatric dctr shld not refuse me...especially since that puts my BMI alot higher! We will see..Wish me luck

Wow....I don't want to have to "shrink" but it does help with BMI :-) good luck. I finally meet my surgeon next Wed....I can't wait!!!!

Fourth dr and nut visit today. Have lost 6#, and dr said that was great and to continue like i am BUT not to lose any more than 5 # or it will throw everything off, like my BMI. So I feel like I am on a tightrope. Lose, but only a tiny bit for now through end of May. Ugh!!
