Hi, everyone. so i have a question? I have a bmi of 50 and so far no comorbities, I do have a sleep study next friday so I will know if I have sleep apnea. But with my bmi i and if i have no co morbities. Has anyone heard of any denials from the insurance companies with this bmi?

Usually if your BMI if 40 or greater you don't have to have any co-morbidities to qualify for surgery. :party:

I was almost 47 with no co-morbities and was approved in about 2 weeks. No questions asked, no additional requirements.

bmi of under 40 you usually need the co-morbidities. You should be fine if the surgery is covered by your insurance.

I am really hoping that I wont have a problem and I get approved with out much hassle. They cover weightloss surgery and the also, for cosmetic surgery if they covered a weight loss surgery..but I would have to wait 1 year to 1 1/2 year for it...which is just awesome....so I am looking for forward to an approval...soon after my sleep study next friday.
