I have begun my journey and started thru my "requirements"-attending la minimum of 2 support group mtngs, visits with nutritionist, psy eval next week, blood work in Jan.

However, upon reading the requirements of Mass Health, it says they decide on it case by case.

My question... my fear-is Ill fulfill my 6 mos requirements only to be denied.

Ill be devestated.

Should that occur-I will consider traveling to Mexico.

Anyone else out there dealing with Mass Health able to offer any input?

My bmi is 40 plus and I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, high blood pressure and have osteoarthritus in my knees.

Help!

I think you'll be fine given your factors. I got approved by Aetna without a problem with just the BMI over 40 and sleep apnea and they are apparently not easy to deal with. Good luck!
