Trying to get the nuclear heart scan done but the hospital i use only has a table for the scan that holds up to 400 lbs. I weigh 450lbs.

They have said they will be contacting other hospital facilities in the area to try to accomidate me. Has anybody had this happen before?

and weight limits on anything... things like massage tables, chairs in restaurants, fitting in a seat on a plane.. I am "normal size" for 8.5 years and I still try to make sure i don't use plane's bathroom.

I had MRI last week and even though I had way too many of them since being "normal", when I saw the narrow table.. and the "tube" it reminded me why I need to stay that way... normal size..

or..like me - you would still hate chairs. I love most booths.

Chairs are often hard- too hard.. and now seldom I can enjoy nice dinner if we are in a place that has hard chairs(wood or just not enough padding)

now i get why my skinny friends often wanted to "eat food and leave" when we were out. when I was heavy - I could sit for hours.. now - not so much... even softer chairs are often not soft enough..

I have special pillows to sit on everywhere.... I even took one on a plane with me during my last trip.

I once had to find a facility with an open MRI machine, because I wouldn't fit in the regular machines.

One of a million reasons that RNY was a great choice!

6'3" tall, male.

Highest weight was 475. RNY on 08/21/12. Current weight: 198.

M1 -24; M2 -21; M3 -19; M4 -21; M5 -13; M6 -21; M7 -10; M8 -16; M9 -10; M10 -8; M11 -6; M12 -5.

They were able to find an alternative option.

Ugh! Definatly another reason why I need RNY!
