I just got a call that I have to start the whole process over July 2016. My BMI in 2014 was 34 and was 36 in July 2015. I was all done with my pre appointments except for the nutritional classes ... and was looking at Surgury the beginning of the year ... now I will have to wait till Jan 2017 ... anyone else had this happen ... I wanna cry

Why do you have to wait?

So sorry to hear about this.

I know exactly how you feel being all ready to go and getting a phone call saying that everything is postponed. I know it's not exactly what you're going through, but frustrating nonetheless. I was all ready to go and bam! I hope that whatever the reasoning for the postponement is figured out soon and you can move on from this. Good luck with everything!!!

Ps-keep us posted!

That happened to me 6 years ago. The insurance company was so strict that I lost all hope until a friend convinced me to try again. Now I'm scheduled for 9/14/15. Hang in there. It will work out.

I have to wait a year because my BMI has to be above 35 for two consecutive years

I hope I don't have to wait.....did they submit your papers to your insurance?...,,,My BMI right now is 36 .......2014 it was 35 but in 2013 my BMI was 34. I'm on HBP meds and I have sleep apnea (CPAP machine)......My Patient Advocate said we can also submit my weight from 2012 which was 36.....What insurance do you have?....Are you on HBP meds?

I am on 3 BP meds ... I have Aetna ... my issue is I had no weights recorded for 2013 ... BMI was 34 in 2014 and 36 in 2015 ... however in 2014 I worked my tail off to lose a few pounds and then gained it back ... now I have to weight till end of July 2016 to start the process over

im so sorry thats really depressing starting all over but its for your health so even though its one more year its the light at the end of the tunnel

Got an update on Friday ... I have an appointment Monday and may be back on track just a month or two behind instead of a year!

Do you have an update? Did you ever get approved for surgery?

Hoping things turn out well

Good luck! I hope everything turns out well!
