    And on that note: make your appointment just before your period is due.
    English is not my first language anymore, so I may and do make mistakes in my spelling, or say things oddly. Please ask me, if you want any clarifications.

    Ugh, I’ve found myself in the same boat as you. My BMI is current 39.0. The surgeon I want to go through weighs with shoes off, AND I have to show that I’m capable of complying with the 6 month diet by losing weight prior to my surgery so... That means I’ll need to gain a minimum of 12-15lbs before I can even schedule a consult with the surgeon... This feels so counterproductive, but my other option is self-Pay in Mexico (which I’m considering but I know my husband will not be fond of the idea).

    Why not? Drink a lot of water. The important thing is to start the process. Go for it.
