My BMI is just shy of 40.... it's like 39.something. Before I go to the appt where they get all my info and submit it to my ins for coverage approval, should I gain a few pounds to get my bmi over 40? I don't want them to deny me because my bmi isn't high enough or just shy of the limit. If there limit 40 I'd only need to gain like 3 pounds.... but if the limit is 45 I'd need to gain more like 35 pounds so that isn't an option. Hope this doesn't sound really stupid... I'd just rather gain the 3 pounds than have to deal with being denied.

If I call my ins company will they tell me what there procedure is for approving or denying? I want to ask, but I don't want to disclose anything on accident that might get me denied... like my bmi being 39.5 instead of 40.

Thanks Kathy!!! I leave in like, 3 minutes to bring my boyfriend to school, then I have to go straight to school, then straight to PCP, then straight to work, then straight to hospital for sleep study, then striaght back to PCP in the morning, then home finally to change, then straight to school, then straight back to hospital for psych eval. I can't wait until friday night when this is all over!!! I'm freaking out! Thanks for all the good wishes! I'll definately let everyone know how it goes!!!!! I think I would have gone insane already if I didn't have this site lol!
