Is there anyone out there that had a 40 BMI with no co mids. Did you guys have any problems getting insurance approved. I will be submitting my forms here soon and Im terrified that I will be denied. I dont know if i can handle that emotionally. I really want the help of this surgery to help change my life. I want to be happy again I want to feel beautiful. I have never had that, So any insurance feed back would be helpful.

What insurance company do you have? I think some are stricter than others.

I have aetna, My bmi is 43-44....I was denied after 3 weeks of waiting because they looked back 4 years of records and seen that I was 35-38 bmi at one time and they think Im "skinny" right now basically. Its been a nightmare. Im appealing it in June. hope you have better luck, but every insurance company is different

First of all let me just say you are truly beautiful and dont you forget that! But i get you want to feel comtrobale in your own skin.

I have United Health Care and let me tell you I had to jump thru hoops. They request a BMI of 40 or 35+ with 2 co mids. I had the BMI of 40 with no co mids they also required a 5 year weight history which was tricky because I just gave birth to my twin girls almost a year ago and they told that it may not count since I was pregnant but my doc wrote a letter and that was good enough. i also had to do a 6 month supervised diet, a phyc eval, ekg, echo card and lab work and sleep apnea but after all of that I was approved.

My prob is I wont have a weight history because up until this year I never had health insurance so i never went to a doctor. I am scared

What about a gyno or even some dentists take your weigh?

I had a 40 bmi no co-morbs & got approved, I had BCBS

Good luck!! Stay positive & don't give up before it's begun

Can you ask your doc to write a weight history letter on your behalf?
