So...my BMI is 33, and my surgical clinic has not yet said "No". Gone to the Nutrition class and now getting clearance from my pcp. Have HBP and Hchol. Here is hoping they take me! 80-100 g of Protein is a struggle

My suggestion is to contact your insurance company and ask what the medical criteria for coverage is.....you can sometimes even find the information on their website. But rather than not knowing you should call them. You don't want to jump through a bunch of hoops and spend a lot of money only to find out in the end you don't qualify...Good Luck

My insurance covers it. No worries. Excited about moving forward!

I was till the scales were in my favor for once. Dieting and exercise helped me lose enough weight to NOT qualify. A catch 22.
