I have a surgery date 11/2 and appointments for all tests ( cardio, pulmonary, pre op, nutritionist and psych). The insurance company won't make a decision until the reports come back. My concern is my BMI of 39. I have GERD, high blood pressure and a family history of stroke, cancer, heart disease and diabetes. My Bariatiric Dr says I am a good candidate and my internist is all in 100% but will my insurance company feel the same way? Does anyone out there have a similar story?
