I have Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts. PPO
My question is do I have to have had a BMI of 40 or higher for the past 5 years?
Here is my weight and bmi history (I am 5'3):
2010-
Weight: 161 lbs BMI: 28.5 Over Weight
2011-
Weight 198 lbs BMI 35.1 Obese Class 2
2012-
Weight 232 lbs BMI 41.09 Morbid Obesity
2013-
Weight 205 lbs BMI 36.31 Obese Class 2
2014-
Weight 197 lbs BMI 34.89 Obese Class 1
2015 *current*-

Will I still be able to get the surgery with this weight history? I'm so confused on this.
