Has anyone done this? I am like 10 lbs shy of my insurance covering it. I don't have co-morbities that will cover it, and I think waiting around for them is not a good idea. I have pre-diabetes and moderatly high bp, pcos and some others, but nothing that they consider a reason.

Has anyone tried to gain weight to get it approved? You can PM me if you don't want to post it pubically. Thanks :thumbs_up:

Thanks for your advice everyone! I ended up eating what I could then using weights. I bent down when she was measuring me, and she ended up fudging my height anyway to make it work, she said she didn't see the point because I was so close. Then, I excused myself after and took the weights off. All was well :cool: I assume I will be approved because depending on if she said for my height I either will be listed as a 41 or 42 bmi, I think I am acutally a 37 something. :regular_smile:

Thanks for your help guys!!

HOW COULD YOU THAT IS SO DECEITFUL. I kid, I kid, I did the exact same thing. Except they never checked my height and I told them I was 5'9 when I am closer to 5'11. Put me right over the edge. The BMI requirement for insurance is arbitrary, IMO. There is little to no difference between 37 and 40.

LOL, I read the first part of that and I was like...ok...here we go! :thumbup: lol

And reguardless, I totally justified it :thumbup: Ok, so for my size my boobs should be rather large, but they aren't. I am disporprotioned in that area. So I figure, Iadded the boob weight lol

LMAO. I, on the other hand, and missingout in the boob department. When they were handing out body parts I must have gotten in line twice for the a$$ and missed the boobs all together! that is ok, that is what plastic surgeons are for!

I'm 5'3 so it was no biggie getting approved the first time around. My doc told me that since I have so many back problems if they don't lessen after I lose the weight that my insurance should cover a reduction for my boobs. I'm like hell ya make me a C cup baby! LOL (currently DD 44)

right there with you girl friend I am 5"'8" and wore a 38JJ bra. When I got breast reduction (insurance covered) I wore a size 12. Then I really started packing on the weight. I thought maybe the higher powers were punishing me for defacing my "temple."
