I no longer qualify for weight loss surgery

Feb 14, 2010

Seven weeks of running and feeling great! 

Another week with only a one pound loss but I don't care because the feeling of running almost two miles at a time makes me feel incredibly accomplished at the end of each session and that one pound met another goal.  Here is the chart...

Range Meaning
less than 18.5 Underweight
18.5 - 24.9 Normal
25.0 - 29.9 Overweight
30.0 - 39.9 Obese
40.0 - 50 Extremely Obese
over 50 Super Obese

Good thing the surgery is already done with... 
 

I started my journey near and possibly over 60 bmi which is Super Super Obese as I was dieting three weeks before I got a scale.  With a BMI of 39.9 I am only obese instead of the required extremely obese of 40.0  With no comorbidities I no longer meet the requirements for my insurance company to cover my surgery.

I would need two co-morbidities to qualify which thanks to weight loss I no longer have.

Overweight here I come...

Sleeves rock.
