Borderline Low Bmi- No Co Morbities?? Can I Be Approved??
When I started this I didn't have co morbidity but I started checkups at Dr and I did have high colestrol high bp I just didn't knw about it. I also have foot problems so that helped. Even a slight increase requireing Meds can help your insurance approve it. Start the wt 6 month wt loss program with Dr now sooner the better and it goes by fast really!
