I'm worried I wont get approved!

So I talked to my ins company yesterday, to find out the specifics on my requirements. I have been gaining weight for 6 years, but I found out that I have to have a BMI of 35% or more for 3 years. I am not sure if I have. I went from 140 to 218 in 6 years, and 3 years ago I was 196. I have not been below 196, but I am not sure if my BMI was 35% at that weight. Did anyone else have this problem?

I would just review your dr records for the past 5 years or go speak your concerns to your pcp so he can take a look at the history. Between your pcp and your gyno you should be able to find out your bmi throughtout thos years. If you have an co morbidities like diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea and such those will look good in the pre determination letter from your doctor to your insurance. Dont give up and work hard and you will suceed!!! good luck!:lol:
