No but I do have documented neck problems, degenerative disc disease that my chiropractor says is from weight

Thanks for the reply! Ok I wasn't sure if I should wait or do it now because I've heard of insurance companies going by the weight of your first surgeon appt. I also have high cholesterol, maybe that falls under their generic comorbid -'any other medical condition due to weight'. They don't really elaborate on that.

Hi everyone. I have BC/BS of Maryland. I'm not sure if I'm wasting my time or setting myself up for disappointment. I was wondering if anyone here has a similar story to mine and if so, how did it turn out? Ok so the criteria for my ins is pretty basic. 1. 40+ Bmi ; 2. 35-40 bmi with one comorbid (their comorbids are sleep apnea, diabetes, hypertension or "any other serious illness or medical condition related to weight") ; 3. Psych Eval. ; 4. 6 moths supervised weight loss. That's it. My only issue is my BMI according to BC/BS is 38.9. None of the comorbids. I'm getting tested for sleep apnea soon. Hopefully it will come back that I have sleep apnea. If not someone suggested I gain the extra 8-10 lbs needed to hit a 40 BMI. I start the weight watchers meetings next week. I guess I will contact a bariatric surgeon after I get my sleep apnea results? Or should I contact them Now?
