    Welcome Soldouthippie,

    Different insurance companies have different guidelines but generally you need to have either a BMI above 40 or a BMI of 35-40 with co-morbidities. Your BMI is 38.3.

    Hi and welcome to LBT! Good luck getting your approval. Do you have any documented comorbidities? That would definitely help with your approval.
