I just got an email from the nurse at my surgeon's office. My sleep study was negative (yay) but that means I don't have 2 co-morbidities and I'm literally 2.2 lbs shy of qualifying for surgery. TWO POINT TWO POUNDS!!!!!! I could just cry...... dang insurance companies!

Worse comes to worse, consider Mexico! The flight and the procedure alone is much cheaper than paying cash on the US side. (Just had mine done yesterday and had the same issues with my insurance on the US side. Zero regrets!)

Why dont you just gain the 2 lbs?

Not sure where you live or who your insurance is with. I have Kaiser and BMI qualifies you for surgery now. I have no medical issues I'm just overweight and I'm so grateful I get to do it. My surgery is Wednesday.

@shawnak911

I have kaiser also and my pcp will not refer me , vmi is 38 and weigh 231...what else can I do

Go back and get your weight done with a few extra clothes layers, at the end of the day, a week before your period starts. ?

Eat, eat, eat! Gain the few pounds and go get weighed again. Are you close to the end or just starting the process?

Just starting out this process, do i change doctors or just go back and tell him to give me the referral. Im off by 15 pounds . Ugh

Why dont you just gain the 2 lbs?
