Went to see a Vascular surgeon about my varicose vein,have been feeling good about my weight loss so was in good place you know.Then he sends me to have a scan and across the bxxxxy form he had written in letters 2ins big.......

GROSSLY OVERWEIGHT!!
I know I have a way to go, but how easily I could of gone home and raided the fridge!Thank god Ive got more willpower now.And Im going to let him rip my vein out of my leg starting at the groin!Deep joy:8855:
 
I used to work in an ambulance control room. I took a call from a GP who was booking an urgent transfer for one of his patients. When we got to the 'any other information' part, he said: 'I have to tell you, this patient is VERY heavy. You'll need at least two crews to lift her, possibly more.'

That's 6+ people. I asked 'How heavy is she?' thinking I might need to get the fire service to assist, and he said: 'Well ... she's at least ... 15 stone!'

That's the weight of a tall man!
 
Thats just rude!!!!
I have been classed as morbidly obese before and that was really upsetting.
Now Im just obese...Im sure there's a positive in there somewhere!! Lol

Me too hun x I was around 5st bigger when i had all my children and on all my scan notes ******* wrote " scan difficult due to body habitus " like i wouldn;t know what that meant, rather than putting mother is fat!!
 
wow the starred word looks like a was using bad swear words, i wasn;t honest it was b uggers lol
 
The whole BMI thing is really a con. Take a body builder. They are very heavy due to all their muscles. Muscle weighs more than fat. So they could be 5' 10" and weigh 21 stone of pure muscle. Yet his BMI would be 42.2, which would class him as morbidly obese?

I think you should be at a weight where you feel happy and healthy. BMI is nonsense in a lot of cases.
 
when i was a bmi 26 a nurse took great joy in telling me i was overweight when she was at least double my size. i just felt like saying, yes thanks you fat cow how nice of you to point it out. i didnt obviously. but i agree, people are VERY rude
