So I really want this sugery and i have tricare prime, I have been reading that they are no longer requiring 100 lb rule that they are now using a bmi factor? what is the range that you would need to be in? I am 5ft and like 1/2 an inch that i will completely slouch down for if it helps and i seem to go between 199-195 (for the last 5 mos) GRR that puts me just under the 40 bmi I have no problem gaining a few lbs to get the band! but do i need the co factors too? I had high blood pressure for years and about 2 years ago i stoped taking my meds for it when i was pregnant and havent been put back on it would this count ?
thanks any and all input would help
