chubb,
I'm sure with your mitigating health circumstances that you'll be approved. When I went for my consult the guidelines were a BMI of 40 and above, OR a lower BMI with health issues, such as you have.
If I were you and my insurance company didn't approve it, I'd get a Lawyer. And, if the only thing stopping me was a BMI that's too low...I hate to say it, but I'd "eat my way" up to a BMI that was high enough.

I am worried because I don't quite reach the 40 bmi I am 63inches tall @214. about 37 bmi I don't know what to expect at the doc's office. I feel like it is gonna be so humiliating! Any advise?:cursing:
