I just went for my endoscopy yesterday, I now only have two more nutrition appointments and I will get my surgery date. I am so excited but a little nervous that my insurance will not cover it because I have no major medical concerns, my bmi is just really high. I have united health care and their requirements are a bmi of 40 and over to be covered but you never can tell. Has anyone else not had any medical issues and were covered by insurance just for a high bmi?

I'm unsure of where that is exactly but I'm sure it'snot too far from here. This site is great to have so much support from and people who share the same story if not very similar. Keeping positive is the absolute best thing I can do. I am very excited because I too looked into this many years ago but my doctor wouldn't sign off on it which to me just meant it wasn't my time. Now that things are going as they should I'm hoping this is the best decision. I feel so that it is. Can't wait for this journey to begin.
