Chele H 427 Posted November 25, 2014 I was weighed fully dressed and I did not take off my shoes. I just squeaked by the minimum bmi of 40. Wear heavy jeans if you can. I wore my Uggs which are heavy. A roll of quarters in each pocket??? ; ) If you are that close, honestly I would say gain a few pounds...we are all experts on how to do that! Just an FYI.....many people say the insurance companies take your starting weight but my surgeon told me not to lose any weight at all because I was so close and he didn't want to risk it if one of my weigh ins I dropped below a 40 bmi. Good luck, I hope all goes well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
