IF YOU WANT IT THAT BAD, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, I BARELY HAD A BMI OF 35 WHEN I FIRST STARTED REASEARCHING AND BY THE TIME I FINALLY GOT APPROVAL I BARELY HAD A 40, I WAS DENIED FIRST TIME AROUND BUT SAT DOWN AND WROTE A 13 PAGE APPEAL LETTER EXPLAINING MYSELF AND MY EVERYDAY LIFE AND WHY I NEEDED THIS SURGERY AND WITHIN 10 DAYS I WAS APPROVED. DONT GIVE UP, THATS WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO DO!

Did you get your height remeasured? I recently had that done and was shocked I had lost 1.5 inches that would push your BMI up if it happenened to you.
