Hi.

I'm 25 about to be 26 next month. I weigh 206 normally and I am 5'3. As of right now, I do not qualify for surgery but I am trying to eat my way to the mark. I am 210 right now and I have to be 226 to reach a BMI of 40 to automatically qualify. Call me crazy, IDC, I am sick of being fat. I have never been skinny and I am tired of worrying and thinking about my weight every single day of my life. I'm ready for a real huge change and to look the way I feel. I see a lot of people very obese and I know I am not..anyone else barely making the qualifications?

Hi!!! I'm turning 26 next month too and I'm 5'3"!! But I am way heavier than you (280). I can't necessarily say you are crazy. Ive gained 120 pounds in like 6 years so I have had those thoughts back when I didn't yet qualify. But I did not gain weight purposely for it

Well I'm older than you both (45). My doctor told me to not loose anymore weight, so I could ha e the surgery. It's hard. I'm supposed to eat healthy, track my food, but not loose weight. I don't think you're crazy at all. Do you what you gotta do for you!

Hey there. I'm 22yrs 5'5" and weigh 241 which puts my BMI right at 40. To qualify for surgery my BMI has to stay at 40. They're telling me I cannot lose weight and I should actually gain 1lb to be on the safe side, which is a bummer since I'm wanting to start a lot of these healthy habits before surgery but I'm scared to because I can't lose any weight. Once I get approved from insurance I suppose I'll have a month before surgery to start these habits. Better late than never I guess.
