  1. Sampathak, I’m in your same situation. BMI is 30. I’ve discussed this with two US docs and they both declined me because I do not have the required complications e.g. diabetes etc... in addition to 30 BMI. One surgeon told me that the risk involved in surgery would not be worth it & it would not be ethical for a surgeon to medically intervene when the “issue could be solved through diet & exercise .” I was super bummed. Not sure why he’s assume I had not exhausted every effort during my entire life to lose the weight. I hope others chime in & tell us about their experiences. I’ve read on the forums that the Mexico-based docs do conduct surgery for lower BMIs.

    Low BMI Insurance approval??

    I’m also curious to hear stories of folks with lower BMIs getting insurance to approve gastric bypass surgery. Thank you
