What is my "frame size"?

According to my insurance company, they use the Met Life table to calculate ideal weight. (One would only qualify for surgery if they were 100lbs over the ideal weight range) There are 3 frame sizes (S, M, L). I always thought I would naturally fall into the Large frame category since I have always been a big girl, right? Maybe not. Someone asked me what my ring size is and I told them a 7. She proceeded to tell me that I might not be large-framed at all. Where do you all weigh in on this one? What determines "frame size"? Link to the met life table: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/met.htm They mention measuring between the bones in your elbow but I am unsure if my fingers move after I remove the elbow!

I would call Met Life and ask them how they determin the frame size. good luck, Chrissy

well, my guess is if you say you are a small frame size, then you would be more likely to be qualified... do what you will with that information

I was always given this as a general rule. Take your wrist and with your oposite hand use your thumb and middle finger and wrap them around your wrist. If your fingers do not meet at all, then your frame is large. If you fingers touch/barely meet, them its medium. If they overlap, it's small... I cant guarantee thats totally acurrate but thats how I was told once to determine your frame size. My fingers are far from meeting, and I have size 12 feet... I would consider myself large framed LOL

well my fingers dont meet when i wrap them around my wrist but they used to so I guess that would make me a medium frame right? I know for a fact I am not small framed I have never ever been small framed, plus even though I am over 100 lbs over weight I can still feel my bones.
