Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Well good news and bad news.......Well I am not 220 pds, I am 241 pds. I about freaked out, because I don't look any different, the doctor looked at me when I asked about a gastric bypass and said I wasn't big enough but then the nurse said yes she is her bmi is 42 she is 241. HIs mouth fell open and said I didn't look it at all for being 5 ft 2. I told him I couldn't believe it. I have put on 35 pds in only a few months. so he is checking my thyroids and all that stuff. I am getting dizzy every time I eat and peeing 3 times every hour I am starting to worry about diabetes. I didn't even know it ran into my family til after I got back from the doctor. My family doesn't really Keep in touch! The doctor said he could refer me to the surgeons he knows but they don't take my insurance, so I have to hunt a surgeon down that takes my insurance and call him to refer me, or do I need the doctors referral?? Can't I just call the surgeon and tell him I am 241 5 ft 2 with bmi of 42 and get me in??? I gotta lose muscle and fat to lose my weight, any ideas on how to lose muscle....the walking actually put weight on me, that sux huh! My blood pressure was elevated and he heard a heart palipitation. Can anyone make any of this clearer for me!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
