good luck with the sleep apnea test...
im hoping it comes back in your favor.


i know a girl who gained all this weight to get it done...and her parents realized what she was doing...so they wouldnt let her get the surgery they're making her lose the weight on her own..But she is very lazy i used to try getting her to come work out with me...and it was 1 excuse after another...

Anyway so this book tells you how to calculate your BMI.
you take your height in inches multiplied by your height in Inches.
yours would be: 72 x 72.
save that #.
Divide your Weight by that #. if im not mistaken you said 268.
268/5184 = .05169....(a bunch more #'s)
then take that #multiply it by 703
.05169...x703 = 36.3433...
so it would get rounded to 36. (the book says 35 or higher and other comorbidities)
Most insurances require a 40 bmi with no other problems neccessary...
but you said you have ankle swelling and pains...
