  1. Borderline qualifying BMI question.

    rdharri posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I'm new on the forum, but have been reading for a couple of weeks and have found all of the information shared here so helpful. I have Tricare Prime, and have the referral for evaluation approved. According to the site it is covered for BMI 35 with 2 comorbid conditions. I participated in Weight watchers for 7 months and now have a BMI of around 35.5. I do have 2 comorbid diagnosis but am concerned that I might not be approved for the sleeve if I get to the magic 35 BMI. What is the weight the surgeon turns in to insurance, the initial weight at the initial evaluation or weight the day they submit to insurance? Thanks
