Second Appointment

Dec 24, 2011

Went to Doctor on Dec 20, 2011. My BMI is 42%. I have to lose 87.3 lbs of fat and gain my muscle mass by .01%. The doctor said that he has never seen a woman with as much muscle in her legs. I have 100.2% in right leg and 100.6% in left leg. I weight 265 lbs. now and am hoping to be at least 155 lbs after the surgery. Still have seven months of visit to the doctor to go before I could have the surgery. My insurance company requires it before I can have the RNY surgery. The doctor told me that I do qualify for the surgery, but we have to wait and see if the insurance will approve it. I have a certain yearly deductible and a specific amount of out of pocket expenses to meet before the insurance company will pay the total cost of the surgery. I hope that I will meet that amount before July 2011. I also found out that I burn 1706 calories at rest and my basic metabolic rate is on the high side of  the normal range.  So I'm not for sure what amount of calorie diet they will put me on. I will keep you all posted on the progress.
