This is so stressful. My surgeon's office is submitting my stuff to insurance today. The thing is, Aetna requires a BMI of 40 for 24 months to prove a history of obesity. I have weights from June 2012, and all of 2013, obviously 2014, and one weight from a gallbladder surgery in January of 2011 which was when I was having gallbladder attacks and not eating--- putting me at 38.8 BMI (7/8 pounds away from 40). This is from 3 years ago, so i don't know why they need it but my surgeon's office wants to include it. I'm really freaking out and I don't know if they will approve me or not. Anyone have this issue and get approval?
