BMI requirements for surgery: am I doomed?

March 1, 2022

I am having trouble locating a dr that will give me a MMO due to my BMI. I am short and the majority of my weight is in my tummy area. I've struggled with weight loss for years and ant seem to get down even close to what they want for surgery. My issue is that I am perfectly healthy according to my doctors and I am happy with my body. Aside from my muscles being ruined in my stomach after pregnancy and the apron I now have. I don't mind my weight. Am I doomed here?
