I have Tricare prime with less than 100lbs to lose

Wondering if anyone has gotten Approved for lap band with less than 100lbs to lose? I checked with the metlife chart and I don't see my height on there it starts at 4'10 and well I'm 4'9. I weigh 183lbs and my bmi is 39.69 I have sleep apnea and high cholesterol and a fatty liver . Worried that I won't get approved :(

    I can't speak to your lower BMI issue, but I'll just say that it only took Tricare 4 days to approve my surgery!!

    It has nothing to do with how much weight you have to lose but what your BMI is.

    With a BMI of almost 40 and co-morbidities, you should have no problem getting approved.
