    Yes, a high enough BMI alone should get approval.

    I got approved with a BMI of 33 for medical reasons. A previous surgery to fix a hiatal hernia failed after 12 years. My esophagus was in an L shape & half of my stomach was above my diaphragm. Food was getting stuck 5-6 times a week.
    Because of my circumstances I didn't have to do any of the prerequisites & my doc was a Thorasic doc & not a Bariatric doc & he told me to get all my info from the internet.

    If you have a BMI over 40 you don't need any comorbidities typically. I was like 40.6 and was approved by my employer-sponsored insurance.
