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".
