MRI

I went for a MRI when I weighed 330lbs and there was no way I was going to fit thankfully it was for my knee and ididnt need to go all the way in but this time going for my back so hopfully now weighing 220lbs I just hope I fit!

Yes you will fit so long as you are under 300lbs you will fit.  Great for you on your weight loss you must feel awesome.  :-)   Val

You should be fine. I weighed close to 300 in January when I had my MRI of my digestive tract, so I went all the way in. Not fun, but I got in there! They were also kind enough to make sure I was going to fit inside before drinking the barium and waiting so long.

I was about 290 and didn't fit at East General.....funny enough...this is one of my goals because I have herniated discs etc and have often wondered if I would now fit in an MRI now at 220. Please let me know how it goes =)

At around 290, I fit in an MRI (gallbladder) but wow, it was a tight fit for sure! My shoulders were squeezed/rolled forward and it wasn't the most comfortable position, that's for sure. I was in there for a good 20-30 minutes and I was so thrilled to get out of there.

I'm 233 this morning; I still wonder if I would fit comfortably. These are the kinds of fears that plague the fat chick's brain... will I fit through the turnstile? Will I fit in the airplane seat? Will I infringe on the space of the person next to me? Will I break the folding chair? All of these things and more. It's a psychological process too. And wrapping my head around that part is tough.

I am sure though you'll do fine! Please let us know. It is a wonderful thing to gauge our successes by the NSVs that we have, isn't it? Fitting into the MRI is a huge NSV! Report back and tell us about this one, would you? Wishing you all the best as you have your MRI and may it go super smoothly for you!

I will for sure let you all know I still have a week to go! and yes the fear for all of those things is still inside my head and still see the fat girl in the mirror but hope one day will see the real me.
