My BMI is 36, I am about 50-60 lbs overweight, less than 3 months ago I was diagnosed as diabetic. That was my golden ticket to approval. As soon as the doctor gave me my test results, which I already knew as I had been tracking my own blood sugar at work, I called the bariatric surgeon at my hospital and said let's get this going. I had my band placed last Friday, December 3rd. I refuse to be diabetic and I knew this procedure would be of great value to my health, but no the real work begins! Good luck to you, I hope you are able to get the insurance to approve the procedure - and quickly!
