so three months ago my mind was made up. I was going to go through with weight loss surgery. at the time my bmi was 39.9 I was worried my insurance wouldn't cover it because besides my weight, I had no other medical issues. I didn't want to wait months just to find out I didn't get approved. I had decided I was going to take action. I was going to loose the most weight I can before surgery. just a little more than 4 months later and I'm 41 pounds down. I definitely do not qualify now and I'm ok with that. I still have 47 pounds to get to my goal weight but after loosing 41 pounds already, I have faith that I can continue. My mom is getting the surgery. she has a bmi of 70 and I know she will benefit from this. I wish all you guys the best of luck. Sent from my LGUS991 using the BariatricPal App

I do not have an appointment with the surgeon yet. I'm just starting off. my doctor made the referral last month. since then I had gotten a kick start by doing some of the things that are required such as blood work, I have two more appointments with the psychologist because I been to one appointment with the psychologist. I have been to the dietician one time and also have two more appointments for that. I go to my first seminar that the hospital requires you to do on September 2nd. from there, I'm sure I will find out more information. everything I have read online says I have to be a bmi of 40 or 35 with two comorbilities. I'm 39. I do have extremely high cholesterol and I'm pre diabetic as of 2015. i just did bloodwork today so I find out that on Tuesday. the only problem is the hospital is two hours away and id hate to travel all the way there and my insurance not approve me. I am waiting for the insurance to call me back. I will ask them what they require with that specific surgery. in crossing my fingers that I have a chance Sent from my LGUS991 using the BariatricPal App
