Hi. I know this is an old post but I am a current VSGER considering being revised to a MGB. I'm 5"6 and 220 lbs and I've just been wondering if I would be considered large enough for the MGB.

I'm still doing great ! I haven't made it to my goal (150) but I'm a size 8 pants and medium shirts at 158-159 lbs and I run 3-5x per week and I feel prob healthier than I've ever been . I did get low on Iron last summer so I've had to add in iron pills but other than that things are good !
