Thanks guys! It’s torture going through all of this before you even know if you will actually get it! Your positive vibes are much appreciated!

The BMI chart is complete bull. I feel it would all have us completely emaciated at our lowest weight. I think we should go by our body type or frame and how we feel.

Just starting my journey. Had my first apt on the first with my surgeon, having my endoscopy on the 22nd, my nutritionist apt the 9th. .l also have been on a dr supervised weight loss program for close to 2 years now which she is currently writing up a paper to submit stating why she feels I’m a good candidate as well. My paperwork is coming together... but however, I’m just really thinking this is going to all be for nothing because insurance will deny me. I think it states I have to be with a BMI of 35+ for at least a year and I think I was at a BMI of 34 around nov before it started to go up.... not sure if that’s where they might snag me if they ask for records first? I’m barely squeaking by with BMI even though I have severe hypertension and need a knee replacement. I have my insurance requirements printed out and I’m trying to make sure I line all my ducks in a row but I can’t shakethis feeling they’ll snag me somewhere... anyone have an issue getting approved when they were on the lower BMI side?

You sound just like me!

Thanks! Best of luck to you as well. I’m on 3 medications just to control it. Have had it for 12 years. I’ve been on a dr supervised weight loss program for almost 2 years now. Was really successful at first with the program but my body just stopped losing once again and is now gaining it all back rapid fire...which is why I’m turning to this. Plus it’s good I can prove I’ve attempted to lose weight and failed....fingers crossed
