Hi. I’m 5’4 210 pounds. I have bcbs of ri. I had my psyc visit. I have done 4 of the 6 nutritional visits. I have high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I am a worrier and saying to myself is there any reason for my insurance will deny me. So nervous. I hate waiting another 2 months to see if they approve or deny me.

Hi, and welcome! What are their requirements for BMI and comorbidities? What is your BMI? What does your surgeon's team say about the likelihood of getting approved??

I meet all the criteria’s. Bmi above 35 with high blood pressure. The dr said I should have no problem but I have been reading stories and getting nervous.

I'm a worrier too. I worried right up to the morning of surgery that something would happen to make my surgeon cancel my surgery. Even had nightmares about it. BUT all went smoothly and here I am on the other side of it all. Try to stay positive and don't let the worries get you down.
