Guest guest Posted November 11, 2000 Report Share Posted November 11, 2000 Nope, you don't have to be that much overweight, (even tho. I am even more). I have met some ladies who because of the diabetes was granted approval... Go for it, you won't be sorry you did, honest! Trudy/Indiana day of surgery 339 today 325 MGB 11-3-00 Could I be a candidate? I have just found Dr. R's website and have just started researching this procedure. I'm 5'4 1/2 " tall, weight 205 lbs and am 37 years old. I have been overweight all of my adult life, tried numerous diets with no success (with the exception of phen phen and it has almost all come back). I have type II diabetes and take 7 pills a day, however have no other medical problems or have had any surgeries. Could I be a candidate for this procedure or do you have to be 100 lbs overweight?

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2000 Report Share Posted November 11, 2000 I believe that you may be candidate. You have to be close to the 100lbs. mark and having the diabetes, too makes you a candidate. (I believe). It's worth checking into anyways.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2000 Report Share Posted November 12, 2000 Hi Yes I would say you were a candidate if you have a BMI around 35 and health problems, keep researching and ask or call Dr R's office Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
