Hello, I'm a new member to this website and just recently had a consultation for the sleeve. I curious if anyone has been in my situation before regarding insurance approval.
I'm finding difficulities in finding records to show my BMI over 35 for 08. This particular "era" I had gone on a major diet & exercise program and lost 50+ lbs. Yay for me! Except, as soon as I jumped off the wagon I gained the 50 back + and extra 15. Wahoo!
Anyway, so the only doc visit records for 08 describe my bmi under 35. The insurance lady at the doc office said to find records from 07 then with the BMI of 35 or 40 which I was able to locate one with 35 BMI & currenlty I'm at 42 BMI & have sleep apnea.
Is there anyone out there who has been in this situation & got approved? I just didn't want to continue scrounging around for all this information & paying more co-pays if its likely not to be approved...
Please help!
