Ok, my nutrition plan was sent in for approval for the insurance company today (Aetna) and I'm nervous that I wont get approved. I have a history of diabetes and high blood pressure in my family but I don't know if that will do anything. I'm 22 years old and my bmi is 44.5. Did anyone else get approved and not have any other health condition with the same bmi?

I have Aetna and was worried I would not be approved. My BMI for 2007 & 08 was around 38 with no other medical problems. I did not have a documented BMI/weight for 2009. My BMI for 2010 is right at 40 and while doing all the doctor visits required by Aetna I was just diagnosed with sleep apnea this year. I have no other medical problems. I was approved - my surgery is scheduled for June 10th.
