Hi everyone!
I have just started looking into getting the lap-band procedure. After calculating my BMI, I am just over 38. I was wondering if anyone else who has been between a BMI of 35-40 has had their surgery approved thru insurance without having any co-morbidities? I was calculating the difference, if I weighed about 12 pounds more I would be at a BMI of 40....almost seems a little silly....should I gain 12 pounds so I can get the assistance I believe I need to live a healthly life or does your insurance company take this into account? I know each insurance company and case will be different...just wondering what others experiences have been.
Thank you! :thumbup:
