qualifying for lap band surgery

Hello, I just started reading more in depth about this surgery, and wondered if joint pain has qualified anyone else for this procedure. I really have no other health problems, but cannot use the elliptical machine, can't really handle exercises very well that involve jumping, and my BMI is almost 40.

    YES!! I had knee and hip pain. My doc said that helped our case with the insurance company.
