Hello all... I am new to the group. I'm almost 3 months into my pre-op, with a sleep study scheduled for next week. I have been stressing over my insurance approval. My BMI is 37, and my surgeon says I'll need my sleep study to show sleep apnea to qualify. He seemed confident about that. Although high blood pressure and diabetes run rampant in my family, I don't have either of these. I do have a history of yo-yo weight loss, depression & asthma, and previous high blood pressure. Has anyone had difficulty getting approved with a lower than 40 BMI? Or just the opposite, gotten approved no problem? I have Anthem BC/BS. [emoji4]

I have just begun my process, and my surgeon thinks I will have a date in early may [emoji4]

Good luck![emoji106]????

I'm new to the forum, but had to share here. My husband is my biggest supporter and I have only told my mom. My mom has had the lap band, so she at least understands. I don't feel like answering to anyone about what I choose to do. I'm a yo-yo with my weight so when I lose, it won't be a surprise to most. Keeping it off will be the surprise Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
