Hi I'm Belinda and I'm new just a little history I've had colorectal resection surgery twice and about a year ago I had incision hernia surgery with mesh repair.I'm 5;2 and about 180 pounds. My link is 30 and I have hi cholesterol.I'm wondering if I would be approved for the sleeve I'm wondering to if I could use my ins to plus since my last surgery every thing I gain is in my belly it has gotten so uncomfortable and hurts my back I have tryed so manifesto lose weight but it's just an none ending cycle and I end up weighting more than I did .

Hello. Not sure if they will approve. Most insurance companies (not sure about all), require a 35 BMI with the high cholesterol. So I'm not sure if they would approve you. You would have to contact a surgeons office but unfortunately you don't sound big enough. (That's not a bad problem to have). Good luck
