over 50 VSG preop blues

I had to do 6 months also. I have Kaiser insurance. Once they accepted me into the program, it was a matter of doing everything they tell you, then you will get approved. My bmi was right over 40. They go by the initial bmi and I had to lose some weight prior.....good luck with your process

I wasn't told I needed to do 6 months, but I started all this in March, I'm a little over 6 months..I have a lower BMI but I have High blood pressue, sleeping problems, pre diabetes...so we'll see what is going on...I have an appt today with my surgeon...
