I was denied by one surgeon because my bmi was to low. I'm at 30 and only 5ft tall. I have struggled with my weight since my early teenage years. I'm currently 32 and like most people I'm gaining not losing. Has anyone ever been approved for the sleeve with a similar situation as mine?

Was it your surgeon or your insurance that denied you?

Did you look into going to Mexico? Their guidelines are a lot more relaxed than those of Drs in the states.

I think your BMI has to be 40 my doctor would have turned you down also it is because insurance won't approve you. The operation cost Thirty to forty thousand dollars that don't count a lot of other add on stuff. The Insurance company will usually pay for you to go to weight watchers.
