Hi, I am new at this? I am having to wait to see if i can get my BMI which is now 34.5 to 35 as I have 3 comorbidities. I have checked with my ins which is TRI Care Standard and should have no problems if my BMI is 35.

Has anyone had to wait to increase or how to increase your BMI.

some people have "lied" by making themself a half inch shorter than they really are or use ankle weights when getting weighed in for the first time so you appear heavier.

Drink a bunch of water before your appointment and lie about your height a bit?

hello,from my understanding,If you have 3 comorbidties you dont need any other excuse,you will quilify anyway.,,once you go to your siminar you can ask the surgeon who conducts the program,she or he will let you know..and your BMI fits the chart....you can go to www.lapband.com and there is a BMI chart there for baritaric surgery,..because the BMI charts are the same...hope everything goes good for you...camille01
