Just worried my BMI will not be high enough. 33.3 with health issues

Oh no Shagurl! What seems to be the prob?

My BMI is a bit over yours, and had a little dose of realty: They typically require a BMI of ~40, but if you have other health concerns, might approve you because of those. Depends on many things.

Congrats! You got this!

So my BMI is low too. Really wish I could get the sleeve.

Sry for delay in response. Surgeons office said I was approved and only had to meet my deductible. Still waiting on my referral for bone density scan....like watching paint peel. I have resigned myself to defeat (thanks Debbie Downer) on the sleeve, maybe they will approve the band. Thoughts?

Great, I have not heard otherwise so I hope I'm a go

Yes. My BP and high cholesterol. My hope is that my numbers go down and I can come off the statins

Being 73 lbs over my ideal weight should qualify me right? BCBS has approved coverage with no restrictions, so I am now working on getting the bone density test completed.

I too want to prevent the inevitable! I am at 33 BMI and am working on getting the bone density test before I go back for next appointment. My insurance has approved me, but have not gotten approval from sugeon yet. Sure hope my BMI is such that they say "Yes". I certainly can't imagine the drive home (1.5hr) if they say my BMI is too low for the sleeve. Back to dieting (and failure) ?

Yes high cholesterol. Am taking in the required 89-100g of Protein - hope they don't tell me my BMI is too low. What are your thoughts? I am 73 lbs over my ideal weight.

So...my BMI is 33, and my surgical clinic has not yet said "No". Gone to the Nutrition class and now getting clearance from my pcp. Have HBP and Hchol. Here is hoping they take me! 80-100 g of Protein is a struggle

I was till the scales were in my favor for once. Dieting and exercise helped me lose enough weight to NOT qualify. A catch 22.
