Hello! I am new to the forum. I have a BMI of 37. I am about 5 ft 1 in and 201 lbs. Up until recent lab work I had no co morbidities to go along with my "low" BMI. However, my labs showed high total cholesterol and LDL. Neither my PCP or surgeon suggested starting on a cholesterol medication. I have UMR insurance, my surgeons assistant told me they seem to be less picky for approval. Just wondering if anyone else has been approved with lower than 40 BMI and newly diagnosed cholesterol, HTN or diabetes. Thanks!
