high BMI only

Did you have any comorbid conditions when you were approved by the insurance company? Or were you able to get approved with just your BMI alone?

All of my blood work came back good. They said I am healthy other than my weight, obviously. I've been reading up and most everything said you must have at least one comorbid condition, for most insurances to approve bariatrics surgery. I met with the bariatrics center on Tuesday and now we wait 2-3 weeks for insurance to come back with a answer and I am crazy nervous since I am "healthy".

I have a high BMI. My BMI is 71!

With my insurance I don't need to have any co morbidities due to it being over 40, however I have plenty co morbidities

It really depends on your insurance, but when doing my research on weight loss surgery on a lot of bariatric websites I have seen what most have said here, BMI of 40 without co morbidities and between 35-39 with 1-2 co morbidities
