So my BMI is 36/100 pounds over weight. I have no known comorbidities. My labs did come back with borderline high cholestrol and non alcoholic fatty liver disease. Both of which doesn't seem to be a major comorbidity to qualify under my Blue Shield policy.

I should be scheduled for a sleepy study in the next few weeks. I have my psyc evaluation on Tuesday and have my upper endoscopy schedule for Sept 13.

Secretly hoping for a comorbidity is a weird state of mind to be in.

Has anyone else been through similar circumstances?

I totally understand you secretly hoping that.

I was never so happy I had asleep apnea as I was when I started checking out gastric bypass surgery. My BMI was low so I needed the comorbidy to qualify.

Same here sleep apnea was actually my savior for qualifying for surgery
