Crystal Cole 8 Posted February 5, 2017 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. My BMI is 35. I've heard of some Mrs not approving the MGB because patient wasn't overweight enough. I will also be going to Tijuana mexico btw. Thanks for any input.
