question for everyone
Is there anyone out there that was/is just at the
minimum requirements of the surgery (100 lbs overweight,
40 bmi)?? I am just wondering the success rate of
these people being covered since I am just over these
requirements. Thanks guys

I did. Actually I was two pounds under that when
I started looking into the procedure. I called one
doctor and spoke to a nurse. She said to gain the few
extra pounds and getting approved would be that much
simplier. Approval wasn’t simply but I do believe that
because I was over the 100 lbs mark is why you don’t have
to have co-mobities (with my insurance anyways) in
order to get approved. Does this make any sense? It’s
hard to relate. Sorry.

No it does make sense, thanks. I am 103 lbs
overweight & I have been told that since I am so close to
the mark I may have trouble getting approved. But if
you are the same as me & you got approved, then there
is hope!!! THANK YOU!!!
