If u are right at 40 bmi with no other problems do u have to make sure u stay at 40 bmi until your procedure is approved. No weight gain or loss????

Depends on insurance, your doc, a myriad of factors

I could not gain any weight....during my NUT visits, I could not any weight at all or my insurance would deny.

I was borderline at 36 with comorbidities. My doctor told me not to try and lose weight so I wouldn't drop below 35. My insurance didn't require weight loss. But, they also told me that insurance reviews based on your weight recorded at the first visit. So, it's worth asking your insurance about. Call the member services number on the back of the card. And then call your doctor's office and confirm with them.

Ok. I have bcbs federal. I see the nurse coordinator today and then surgeon visit is next. Im not sure which weight they go by.
