[lili@ne 21]

Hi Dear ,

For 8 years I struggle with my weight , for the last 5 years I’ve been trying to bring my weight down with docs prescriptions such Ephetamine but no success , in 2 years I work on the gym so hard 5 days a week same times twice a day , I happily went down 18 pounds , still not enough for my body

I have a lots back pain and neck problem WICH prohibit me from work out as I used to gain all the weight back , so frustrating , have a appointment with Bariatric doctor , my question , do I have chance to be approved ? I’d love to hear some comments ...thank you

your BMI is over 35!

Do you have high blood pressure? Cholesterol? Diabetes?

if you live in usa it will depend on your insurance provider but by any medical standards you have class 2 obesity and definitely qualify!

Most programs and insurance require a BMI of 40 or over or 35 and a comorbidity like diabetes or another weight related condition. Your back issues might be considered a comorbidity.

When I went in for my first appointment they told me my insurance required that my BMI is 40. Mine was 39 but luckily they bumped mine up to 40 lol I guess it might depend on insurance. I would go in and speak to someone. You never know. Good luck

Somebody else on Bariatric Pal put fishing sinkers or similar in his pockets and didn't tinkle before the weigh in so they'd be heavier.

I had similar stats. I didn't qualify through insurance (no comorbidity, though a family history of many), but had no issues qualifying for self pay.

It depends on:

Comorbidities

Surgeon

Insurance or self pay
