I've been thinking a lot of having lap band for quite some time now. I only recently started taking the steps towards possibly making that happen. Based on the below and your experience, think I'll be approved? Maybe? I'm 208lbs. I'm 5'5". But, when I went in for my intial appointment my doc said I seemed more like 5'4', which would mean that I am only 3 pounds from the 100 pound mark. I'm on Tricare Standard (south region) and they require at least 100 pounts overweight with comorbidities. Only, I'm not sure if you need just one or more health issues. My health issues are that I have slightly elevated blood pressure and pre-diabetic according to my PCP. He did not feel I needed meds. His suggestion was lose weight....I even asked for weight loss drugs and he said "no." That's when I started to consider lap band. So, knowing my weight and only being 3 pounds with my health issues (if they are issues) think I have a shot? Will I get weighed again to see if I meet the weight requirement or is the initial weigh in the deciding factor? Any input is appreciated.
