Insurance And Bmi

Just starting my journey and wondering how many of you got approved for surgery just based solely on BMI without any other comorbidity issues? Thanks!

    The crazy thing about this is I weighed today my BMI is actually 40 now! I fluctuate back and forth 7ish pounds when I weighed 2 weeks ago I was down 7 now I'm back up! The issue is my records from the past 3 years don't show my BMI 40 or higher probably around 38/39..no comorbities ..I have migraines that's about it..Uggh I'm so upset and dissapointed because I just knew this would b my path to help me become healthier..I've been a "big girl " all my life!
